The NASA SBIR/STTR Program continues to closely monitor the situation with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). In doing so, the following items have been amended:

1) Due to uncertainty around travel and large gatherings, the Innovation and Opportunity Conference (IOC) will not be held as an in-person event in 2020; therefore, the below opportunity is no longer applicable.

Travel in Phase I

Due to the intent and short period of performance of the Phase I contracts along with their limited budget, travel during the Phase I contract is highly discouraged unless it is required to successfully complete the proposed effort. If the purpose of the meeting cannot be accomplished via videoconference or teleconference, the offeror must provide rationale for the trip in the proposal budget form. All travel must be approved by the Contracting Officer and concurred by the Technical Monitor.

However, during this solicitation, Phase I offerors may propose up to $1,500.00 for one person per firm for travel to attend the Innovation & Opportunity Conference (IOC) tentatively scheduled for fall 2020 with location to be determined. For additional information on the IOC, see the Noteworthy Changes section at the front of this solicitation. This request for travel funding shall not be used for travel other than attending the IOC meeting. If an offeror plans to submit multiple proposals, it is recommended that the offeror request up to $1,500.00 for travel to the IOC per proposal, however NASA will only allow up to $1,500.00 of travel funds to be provided to a single firm that receives multiple awards under this solicitation to attend the IOC meeting.

• For those firms that have not yet completed their proposals, please do not include IOC travel funds in your budget request.

• For firms that have already completed their proposals, if you proposed travel to the IOC, we recommend updating your budget accordingly, resubmitting, and re-endorsing. Otherwise, during contract negotiations, this funding request will be denied.

2) NASA will accept STTR proposal packages that do not include (1) Research Agreements and/or

(2) Research Institute (RI) budgets and have not been endorsed by the RI. Firms who do not include these items will not be penalized during evaluation. Research Agreements and/or RI budgets shall instead be submitted within ten days of the notification of selection.

3) NASA will accept SBIR/STTR proposal packages that do not include signed letters of commitment from subcontractors or consultants. Firms who do not include these items will not be penalized during evaluations. Signed letters of commitment from subcontractors and/or consultants shall instead be submitted within ten days of the notification of selection.

NASA will provide additional guidance on how Small Business Concerns (SBC) and RIs can provide these documents and endorsements at https://sbir.nasa.gov/content/covid-19-impact-nasa-sbirsttr-program.
