STATEMENT OF WORK
1. STATEMENT OF WORK

1. Background:

The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, in support of the Department of Defense Small Business Innovation (SBIR) Program, has taken part in the Program Solicitation for FY2004. Objectives of the solicitation included stimulating technological innovation in the private sector, strengthening the role of the small business in meeting Federal research and development needs, fostering and encouraging participation by minority and disadvantaged persons in technological innovation, increasing the commercial application of DOD-supported research results, and improving their return on investment from Federally-funded research for economic and social benefits to the Nation. The Federal SBIR Program is mandated by Public Laws 97-219, 99-443, 102-564 and 106-554.

2. Phased Program:

a. Phase 1 is to determine, insofar as possible, the scientific or technical merit and feasibility of ideas submitted under the SBIR program. The contractor shall concentrate on that research or development which will significantly contribute to providing the scientific or technical feasibility of the approach or concept and which would be a prerequisite to further DOD support in Phase II.

b. Phase II awards are expected to be made during Fiscal year 2005 to firms with approaches that appear sufficiently promising as a result of Phase I. Phase II awards are expected to typically cover 2 - 5 man-years of effort and to cover a period generally not to exceed 24 months, subject to negotiation. The number of Phase II awards will depend upon Phase I results and availability of funds. Phase II is the principal research or development effort; it will require a more comprehensive proposal, outlining the proposal effort.

c. Under Phase III, it is intended that non-Federal capital be used by the small business to pursue commercial applications of the research or development. Also, under Phase III, Federal agencies may award non-SBIR funded follow-on contracts for products or processes, which meet the mission needs of those agencies.

3. Contractor Manpower Reporting: Input of the Accounting for Contract services information in the web site operated and maintained by the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower & Reserve Affairs) is required. See the “Contractor Manpower Reporting” paragraph in Section C below for specific reporting information.
