Commercialization Strategy and Market Transition Planning

The contract seeks to develop comprehensive commercialization roadmaps and market transition strategies for dual-use technologies originating from SBIR and STTR programs, focusing on bridging the gap between government-funded research and private sector adoption. Key deliverables include detailed market analyses to identify viable commercial applications, targeted customer engagement strategies to validate demand and refine product-market fit, and structured investor outreach plans designed to secure funding and accelerate scale-up. The work is intended to enhance the pathway from prototype to market-ready solution by aligning technological capabilities with real-world commercial needs across both defense and civilian sectors. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under NAICS code 541611, managed by NASA, with a response deadline of August 19, 2026. The effort requires deep expertise in technology commercialization, market intelligence, and stakeholder engagement, particularly in navigating the complexities of dual-use applications. While no specific location is designated for performance, the contractor must possess the capability to conduct nationwide or potentially international market assessments and engage with a broad range of industry partners, government stakeholders, and potential investors. The goal is to significantly increase the rate of successful technology transfer and commercialization outcomes for NASA-backed innovations.
