U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program 25.1 Solicitation

The DHS SBIR Program Office encourages small business concerns, including small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and socially and economically disadvantaged small business concerns, with the capability to conduct research and development for homeland security-related topic areas, and to commercialize the results of that R/R&D, to submit proposals in response to topics described in this Solicitation. Phase I provides the opportunity for offerors to demonstrate the scientific, technical and commercial merit, and feasibility of the proposed effort with a relatively small agency investment prior to providing further federal support in Phase II. Phase II continues the R/R&D effort from the completed Phase I. Phase II efforts further develop work from Phase I to develop a prototype of the proposed solution. All proposals are evaluated with respect to the DHS mission requirements. Selections are made for the solutions evaluated with the best potential to meet those requirements.
