Posting of Navy FY-19.2 SBIR & FY-19.B Selections
In order to keep small businesses informed about the Navy's 19.2 SBIR & 19.B STTR proposal selection status, the Navy posts a list of SBIR/STTR "Selectees" as they are chosen.
A selectee is a company selected for further consideration, meaning that the proposal is of interest, but the final decision and contract negotiation is not complete. Being listed as a selectee on this web site is NOT a notification of contract award.
The list of selections is an ongoing process that may take a few months to complete. You can register your email address on the SBIR & STTR selection pages to receive email notifications of updates to the lists. Your email address is not shared with anyone, and is deleted after the selection process is complete.
You can browse the Phase I Selections using the links below, and view earlier selctions from the Browse Phase I Selections box on the right or the links below).

ASN (RD&A) Geurts Issues Memo on Small Business Utilization for a Strategic Advantage
James Geurts, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development & Acquisition (ASN (RD&A)) brings to Naval warfighters his rich SOCOM experience in delivering innovation, faster, through new collaborations and inventive practices.
Mr. Geurts' most recent guidance to DoN acquisition teams on small business and SBIR/STTR conveys the imperative role Small Business play as DoN team members and their contribution to DoN's success in meeting the National Defense Strategy (NDS). As such, the instruction calls for Acquisition Commands and Program Executive Officers (PEOs) to prioritize utilization of Small Business and includes these critical SBIR/STTR points:
- DoN acquisition teams focus on reviewing and assessing SBIR/STTR capabilities in developing acquisition strategies - and such strategies should address incentives for SBIR/STTR use.
- Acquisition Commands and PEOs should leverage "agile, time-saving authorities" of the Phase III award process - without further competition - where this action meets performance and affordability mandates.
- The memo concludes with an emphatic challenge: "Enhanced implementation of the Small Business Program will require .changing the way we do acquisition."

Required Cyber Security Certification:
What You Need To Know
On November 4, 2010, the President signed Executive Order 13556, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This established a government-wide CUI Program to standardize the way the Government (and Government contractors) will handle unclassified information that requires protection. The guiding document for this endeavor is NIST Special Publication 800-171.
Full compliance of NIST SP 800-171 is required no later than December 31, 2017. [read more...]
NIST SP 800-171 provides the minimum required cybersecurity standards to protect the confidentiality of CUI for Federal Agencies. The document contains specific security requirements that contractors must implement at contract award. Within 30 days of contract award, the contractor must notify the DoD CIO (osd.dibcsia@mail.mil) of any of the security requirements specified by NIST SP 800-171 that are not implemented at contract award.
Contractors may use subcontractors and/or outsource information technology requirements; but, they are responsible for ensuring that these entities meet the cybersecurity standards.
For more information go to: nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-171.pdf to download your copy of the NIST SP-800-171 document and
