SBIR Phase III

SBIR Phase III — Statutory Follow-On Award Authority

Government-funded R&D that became production technology — with protected follow-on rights.

G2 Ops, Inc. holds seven SBIR technology platforms. Program offices can put this technology on contract directly — without a new competition — under the SBIR program’s Phase III authority. This page explains how.
