Standardized solicitation provisions are to say what firms must supply for Phase III eligibility
What the document says“as applicable, issue standardized solicitation provisions and contract clauses that provide clear guidance on the information that small business concerns participating in SBIR or STTR programs can be expected to provide as part of market research or as part of a proposal by those small business concerns to establish eligibility for Phase III awards.”
Subsection (b)(3) also adds a new subparagraph (D). Where applicable, the agency issues standardized solicitation provisions and contract clauses. They give clear guidance on the information a firm in the SBIR or STTR programs can be expected to provide, either as part of market research or as part of a proposal, to establish that it is eligible for a Phase III award.
What the document actually says“as applicable, issue standardized solicitation provisions and contract clauses that provide clear guidance on the information that small business concerns participating in SBIR or STTR programs can be expected to provide as part of market research or as part of a proposal by those small business concerns to establish eligibility for Phase III awards.”
The agency must write standard wording for its bids and contracts. The wording says what a firm has to hand in. That is how a firm shows it can get a Phase III award.
Firms often do not know what proof is wanted. Each agency asks in its own way. Standard wording means one answer works everywhere.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
