Significant Changes To The SBIR And STTR Programs

[January 2023] On September 30, 2022, the SBIR and STTR Extension Act of 2022 (the Act) was enacted, reauthorizing the SBIR and STTR programs until September 30, 2025. The Act makes several significant changes related to national security risks and foreign influence in the programs. The changes include agency implementation of due diligence procedures, new offeror disclosure and ongoing contractor reporting requirements, and new award eligibility requirements, with an offeror’s or contractor’s omissions or misstatements resulting in repayment of the entire award amount, among other changes to the programs. No later than June 27, 2023, agencies will be required to establish and implement due diligence procedures to assess offerors’ eligibility for SBIR and STTR awards based on security risks presented by small businesses seeking to participate in the programs.
