24 months; preference will be
shown for technologies that
can be available to the opera-
tional Naval Forces within 12
months of Rapid Innovation
Fund project completion.
Funds available for awards
are $50 million, contingent
upon acceptable proposals.
The U.S. Department of the Navy
recently posted a Broad Agency
Announcement (BAA) on the Fed-
eral Business Opportunities
(www.fedbizopps.gov) that may be
of interest to the SBIR community.
As indicated in the notice: This
BAA is primarily for the validation
and transition of technologies de-
veloped by small businesses (less
than 500 employees) including
those developed under the SBIR
program and IR&D that directly
support DoN needs and programs.
Those selected for award may
receive up to $3M in Rapid Inno-
vation Fund funding; developmen-
tal efforts can be completed within
The SBA wants your public com-
ments on the new Final Rules. The
commenting period will commence
upon publication in the Federal
Register. If all goes according to
schedule comments will be open
for 60 days and close October 6,
2012. A new "Final Rule" with con-
sideration of comments should be
published by the end of the calen-
dar year.
The rules are long and complex,
so you won't hear much from the
SBIR community until a prelimi-
nary study is done. However, the
SBA will hold two webinars
(perhaps more) but for now they
are scheduled for:
August 23, 2012 (you must
register by August 22, 2012)
August 29, 2012 (you must reg-
ister by August 28, 2012)
If you are interested in attending
one of the Webinars, you must
pre-register (maximum partici-
pation is 125 per session) by
sending an e-mail to technol-
[email protected]. You must
include in the subject line,
the date of the Webinar you
want. In the body of the
email you must include the
Participant's Name, Title,
Organization Affiliation, Ad-
dress, Telephone Number,
Email Address, and Fax
Number.

The Central Contractor Registry (CCR) as well as the Online Repre-sentations and Certifications Appli-cation (ORCA) web sites and facili-ties have given way to the federal government's new omnibus sys-tem, the System for Award Man-agement (SAM), located at www.sam.gov. SAM incorporates many of the governments data-bases into one, and that includes CCR, although it no longer carries
that name. The good news is that if your company was current in the CCR, that information has been ported over to SAM. You cannot use your old account from CCR in SAM. You will have to go in and create an account (for most of us it will be a user account). If your company was current in the CCR, go to www.sam.gov and create an individual user account (this infor-mation is separate from your com-
pany's "entity account" but if done properly will allow you to access your company's data). When you create your user account, you will be asked "Would you like to migrate a legacy system account?" If the email address used in your CCR record is the same as the one in your user ac-count, the transition will be a piece of cake.
Important Update: CCR is out SAM is In
