About this opportunity
The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) proposals through its 25.D Annual Program Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to stimulate technological innovation and meet defense research and development (R&D) needs. The Naval Air Warfare Center is leading this solicitation, which invites small businesses capable of conducting innovative R&D with potential for commercial application in defense-related topic areas. The program's key objectives include strengthening small business participation in defense technological innovation, encouraging minority and disadvantaged persons' involvement, and developing collaborative research solutions. Proposals will be evaluated based on technological innovation, potential for commercialization, and ability to address specific defense-related scientific or engineering challenges. The solicitation is open from October 2, 2024, with proposal submissions due by October 22, 2025, and new research topics will be pre-released on the first Wednesday of each month throughout fiscal year 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, with a specific focus on encouraging partnerships between small businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) or Minority Institutions (MIs), though no special preference will be given to such proposals. While specific award values are not detailed in the notice, the program is subject to fund availability and will support high-quality cooperative research proposals. Proposers are required to register on the Defense Small Business Innovation Research (DSIP) portal and are encouraged to thoroughly review the full BAA available at https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/submissions/solicitation-documents/active-solicitations. The research and development services will be performed across various defense-related scientific and engineering domains, with a primary focus on physical, engineering, and life sciences research. Interested small businesses are advised to register for the DSIP Listserv to stay informed about programmatic and contractual updates throughout the solicitation process.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER (STTR) PROGRAM
STTR 25.D Annual Program Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
The Defense Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program’s objectives include stimulating technological innovation, strengthening the role of small business to meet DoD research and development (R&D) needs, fostering and encouraging minority and disadvantaged persons’ participation in technological innovation, and increasing the commercial application of DoD-supported research or R&D results. DoD invites proposing SBCs with the capability to conduct R&D and commercialize the results in any of the defense-related topic areas described in this STTR Program BAA to submit proposals.
The STTR Program, although modeled substantially after the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program, is a separate program and is separately financed. Subject to availability of funds, DoD Components will support high quality cooperative research and development proposals of innovative concepts to solve the listed defense-related scientific or engineering problems, especially those concepts that also have high potential for commercialization in the private sector. Partnerships between small businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) or Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged, although no special preference will be given to STTR proposals from such proposers.
DoD Services and Components may elect to release topics under this BAA once a month throughout fiscal year 2025. New research topics will pre-release on the first Wednesday of each month, based on the schedule posted on https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/submissions/login.
Proposers are encouraged to thoroughly review the DoD Program BAA and register for the DSIP Listserv to remain apprised of important programmatic and contractual changes.
• The full DoD Program BAA is available on DSIP at https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/submissions/solicitation-documents/active-solicitations. Be sure to select the tab for the appropriate BAA cycle.
