SBIR Phase III Direct Award Authority
Accelerating Mission Deployment Without Procurement Delays
Bravent’s technologies developed under U.S. Government SBIR funding are eligible for SBIRPhase III sole-source awards.
Phase III provides Federal agencies a powerful, streamlined pathway to deploy proven innovation directly into operational environments — without further competition — under statutory authority.
What Is SBIR Phase III?
SBIR Phase III is the follow-on stage of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. Unlike Phases I and II, Phase III:
- Does not require new competition
- Is funded with non-SBIR appropriated dollars
- Supports production, deployment, sustainment, and scaling
- Is available to any Federal agency
- May be awarded as a sole-source contract
Under 15 U.S.C. § 638(r) and FAR 6.302-5(b)(2), agencies may directly award Phase III contracts to the original SBIR awardee (or successor-in-interest).
Acquisition Flexibility
Bravent supports Phase III awards structured as:
- Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP)
- Cost-Plus
- Time & Materials
- IDIQ Task Orders
- Multi-year production contracts
Phase III awards may be executed through:

- Modification to existing contracts
- GSA Schedule or other contract vehicles
- OTA transition to FAR-based production
