The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Program has awarded Phase 1 contracts to small businesses (hereafter referred to as “awardees”).

The period of performance for the commercialization assessment deliverables on this contract shall commence for six months.

Due Date for Proposals:

Offerors shall submit their proposals so that NIST receives them not later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 08/08/2012. FAX proposals shall not be accepted. E-mail proposals shall be accepted at micole.cheatham@nist.gov.
