Updated Minimum Performance Standards for Commercialization for Firms That Receive Funding Through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is publishing for public comment updated minimum performance standards for commercialization for firms funded through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs. This commercialization benchmark establishes a minimum share of annual revenue that a Small Business Concern (SBC) must derive from sources other than SBIR or STTR program funding in order to remain eligible for a new Phase I or Direct-to-Phase II award, where that SBC has received more than 25 Phase II awards during the five most recently completed fiscal years, excluding the current fiscal year. The revised benchmark will supersede the benchmark announced at 78 FR 48537 and 78 FR 59410. This requirement is issued under the authority of Section 9 of the Small Business Act.
