SBIR Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Defense Office of Technology, Transition and Commercial Partnerships is seeking SBIR proposals to accelerate the commercialization of government-funded intellectual property made available through the Patent Holiday Initiative. Awardees must translate and mature priority Department of War patents into transition-ready prototypes across sectors including microelectronics, advanced materials, energetics, munitions, critical minerals, and biomanufacturing. Successful proposals must present a credible commercialization pathway, target revolutionary rather than evolutionary advances, and meet Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 1 requirements. The opportunity is open for both Phase I awards and Direct to Phase II proposals, with applications due by August 19, 2026, and technical inquiries directed to Barry Datlof.
