NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI) SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) INNOVATIVE CONCEPT PHASE I AWARD PROGRAMThe National Cancer Institute (NCI) is soliciting Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposals under the Innovative Concept Award Program focused on advancing transformative research and development for pediatric cancers and rare cancers with a five-year survival rate below 50%. This Total Small Business Set-Aside, identified by solicitation number 75N98026R00109 and NAICS code 54171, is open to small business concerns that can demonstrate the scientific feasibility and commercial potential of untested technologies aimed at therapeutic, preventative, diagnostic, or digital health applications. Proposals must clearly define the clinical problem, specify the targeted cancer type, and outline a development path toward a tangible product, supported by a sound scientific premise derived from literature or preliminary internal research—though preliminary data is not required. Two primary topic areas are prioritized: development of novel therapeutics or preventative strategies for pediatric and rare cancers, and creation of devices, diagnostic tools, or digital health solutions for detection and treatment. Notably, non-exempt human subjects research is strictly prohibited, and all proposals must comply with the required electronic submission format via eCPS, including a single PDF technical proposal incorporating the mandatory ATTACHMENT 1 form, NIH biosketches, and letters of support, along with a separate business proposal and the always-required Human Subjects and Clinical Trials Information Form, even if no human research is involved. The solicitation outlines a $300,000 base R&D budget with an optional additional $6,500 for technical and business assistance, for a total potential contract value of $306,500, all payable via electronic funds transfer upon successful completion and government acceptance of deliverables. Offers must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with the correct purpose designation and hold an active Unique Entity Identifier, and must also be registered in the SBA Company Registry, submitting proof as part of the business proposal. Proposals are evaluated through a two-stage process: first, a peer review panel determines technical acceptability based on equal-weighted criteria including scientific rationale, approach, and alignment with the clinical need, and second, NCI program staff assess feasibility and programmatic alignment. Failure to meet either the technical acceptability threshold or a security risk determination results in disqualification. Contractors are subject to government inspection, must submit periodic technical progress reports tied to payment milestones, and are required to comply with all federal regulations including Section 508 accessibility standards, E-

Water Valve Leak MitigationThe Naval Nuclear Laboratory, operated by Fluor Marine Propulsion under contract with the Department of Energy, is seeking information on innovative methods to mitigate water leakage past valves during maintenance of pure water fluid systems. This request is purely for market research and not a solicitation for proposals or contracts. The goal is to identify non-intrusive solutions that prevent continuous water flow into work areas without compromising pure water chemistry or the integrity of stainless-steel components. Proposed methods must not require removal after use, must not introduce foreign materials into the system, and must either be applied externally, completely dissolve into innocuous constituents at room temperature, or otherwise avoid permanent modification of the system. The emphasis is on practical, reliable alternatives to freeze seals that reduce resource consumption during maintenance or welding operations. Responses are limited to five pages and must be submitted by September 3, 2026. This initiative is managed by Fluor Marine Propulsion, the DOE contractor overseeing the Naval Nuclear Laboratory, with inquiries directed to ATIP@unnpp.gov. The effort is classified under NAICS code 54171 and is intended to assess industry capabilities to support future procurement decisions. Interested parties should note that no costs incurred in preparing responses will be reimbursed, and submission of information does not guarantee future contract opportunities. All responses will be used solely for planning and market analysis purposes.

This open solicitation is authorized under 10 U.S.C. 3458 and leverages Other Transaction Authority (OTA) under 10 U.S.C. 4022 and 4023 to facilitate non-traditional partnerships and accelerate the integration of commercially developed, non-classified solutions into defense applications. The process is structured into three phases: Solution Brief submission, a pitch session, and a full proposal, with all awards being fixed-price and based on technical merit, relevance to the stated Areas of Interest (AOIs), feasibility, and rapid testability rather than cost competition. Submissions must be unclassified, electronically delivered in PDF format, and adhere to strict page limits—five pages for Solution Briefs or fifteen slides alternatively—with mandatory inclusion of entity information, executive summary, innovation justification, technical approach, IP considerations, and company background. The Government evaluates submissions independently per AOI, without comparison against other proposals, and invites only a select number to proceed to pitch and proposal stages. Multiple awards may be issued, and successful prototype projects may lead to non-competitive follow-on production contracts. The CSO has issued multiple AOIs targeting specific capability gaps, including the Miniature Aiming System for the .338 Norma Magnum LMG, the Lightweight Machine Gun replacement for the MK48 series, the Small Modular Optic and Laser Designator (SMOLDr), the HICAR system components, and modular electro-optic designator/optic modules. Each AOI has unique technical requirements, submission windows, and designated points of contact for questions and submissions, such as Bradly McLaughlin, Kaden Pfender, and Connor Fields. Deadlines vary by AOI, with some closing in 2025 and others extending into 2026, including Q&A and proposal submission windows ranging from August 2025 through June 2026. Proposals must demonstrate innovation as defined by novelty or new application of existing technology as of the submission date. Entities must be registered in SAM with a valid DUNS and CAGE code to receive awards and must not be suspended or debarred. For OTAs over $5 million, the Comptroller
