Verified SBIR Phase III — Sole-Source Eligible
The Statutory Basis

What Is SBIR Phase III?

SBIR Phase III is the follow-on stage of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. Unlike Phases I and II, Phase III:

✓Does not require new competition
✓Is funded with non-SBIR appropriated dollars
✓Supports production, deployment, sustainment, and scaling
✓Is available to any Federal agency
✓May be awarded as a sole-source contract

Under 15 U.S.C. § 638(r) andFAR 6.302-5(b)(2), agencies may directly award Phase III contracts to the original SBIR awardee (or successor-in-interest).
