The NASA SBIR/STTR Program is moving to a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) (See more in FAR 35.016 https://www.acquisition.gov/far/35.016) to procure research and development activities from small businesses. This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) sets the requirements for you, the offeror, to submit a proposal to NASA for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) (including SBIR Ignite) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program Phase I and Phase II projects. NASA will solicit proposals for specific funding opportunities by releasing appendices to this BAA throughout the effective period of this BAA.

Important Changes for 2026-2027:
• The SBIR/STTR will be utilizing a BAA, and appendices will be released that describe the specific dates, eligibility, submissions system, and technical subtopics for that funding opportunity.
• Guidance for both Phase I and Phase II opportunities are contained in the BAA. Follow instructions carefully.
• Maximum award values have increased by 50% to $225,000 for Phase I and $1,275,000 for Phase II.
• TABA funds are now included within the total award value and must comply with the applicable maximum award limits.
• For SBIR and STTR Phase I proposals Part 6 has been renamed from “Market Opportunity” to “Commercialization and Business Plan.”
