Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

PWS

Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) & Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)

Program Support

1. Introduction

1.1 Mission

1.1.1 The SBIR and STTR programs are United States Government programs administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA). The Department of Defense (DoD) participates in this program and budgets more than $1 billion in research funds annually. The United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) SBIR program is a component of the DoD SBIR program's overall mission to leverage small business technology innovation for the Warfighter. The USSOCOM SBIR program is focused on providing funding for the development of advanced technology that provides increased capability for the SOF Warfighter.

1.1.2 In conjunction with the SBIR program, Congress established the STTR program. The STTR program is similar in structure to SBIR and funds cooperative research and development projects with small businesses in partnership with not-for-profit research institutions (such as universities) to move research to the marketplace.

1.1.3 The USSOCOM SBIR/STTR Program Office supports the DoD SBIR and STTR programs by implementing SBA and DoD policy and participating in an annual DoD SBIR topic solicitation.

USSOCOM awards approximately $12 million in research funds annually through the SBIR program.

1.2 Scope

This contract supports the USSOCOM SBIR/STTR Program Office and requires the special skills needed to support each aspect of the program. Aspects of the support to be provided include providing SBIR/STTR program subject matter expertise, performing outreach, providing customer support, administering a SBIR public website, and the development, administration, maintenance, and upgrade of a web based SBIR proposal evaluation application.

2. General Information

2.1 Management

The contractor shall establish clear organizational lines of authority and responsibility to ensure effective management of the resources assigned to the requirement. The contractor must maintain continuity between the support operations at HQ USSOCOM for the Directorate of Science and Technology, SBIR/STTR Program Office and the contractor’s Task Lead.

2.2 Administration

The contractor shall establish processes and assign appropriate resources to effectively administer the requirement. The contractor shall respond to Government requests for contractual actions as specified in this PWS. The contractor shall have a single point of contact between the Government and contractor personnel assigned to support the requirement. This position shall be identified as the Task Lead and is considered Key Personnel.

2.3 Location of Performance

Contractor’s facility and locations of outreach efforts/conferences as applicable.

2.4 Periodic Progress Meetings

2.4.1 The Contracting Officer, Program Office, COR and other appropriate Government personnel will meet with the contractor via video teleconference (VTC) or conference call to review the contractor's performance. At these meetings the Contracting Officer will apprise the contractor of how the Government views the contractor's performance and the contractor shall apprise the Government of problems, if any, being experienced. The contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer (in writing) of any support requested that the contractor considers outside the scope of this contract.

Appropriate action shall be taken to resolve outstanding issues.

2.4.2 During the first year of the contract (inclusive of the Phase-In period), periodic performance meetings will be conducted as mutually agreed upon between all parties. After the first year of the contract, the performance meetings will be held semi-annually, unless the frequency is reduced by the Government.

2.4.3 The government will be responsible for compiling meeting minutes and distributing to all parties in attendance. Discrepancies will be addressed in writing to the designated government representative

2.5 Organizational Conflict of Interest:

Contractor and subcontractor personnel performing work under this contract may receive, have access to or participate in the development of proprietary or source selection information (e.g., cost or pricing information, budget information or analyses, specifications or work statements, etc.) or perform evaluation services which may create a current or subsequent Organizational Conflict of Interests (OCI) as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5. The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and shall promptly submit a plan to the Contracting Officer to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the Contracting Officer and in the event the Contracting Officer unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the Contracting Officer may take other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.

2.6 Travel

Travel remains fairly consistent from year to year and shall be included in the basic support. Participation by two contractor personnel to participate in three, 3-day conferences annually. Travel will occur on Monday and Friday immediately before and following the conferences. Two of the conferences are typically held in the metro Washington, D.C. area and Tampa, FL.
