SBIR/STTR Support Services to the Department of Energy (DOE), Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs Office.

The Department of Energy’s Office of Science is seeking support services to assist the SBIR and STTR Programs Office in administering its innovation initiatives aimed at small businesses. The contract will provide comprehensive services to facilitate the operation of these programs, which fund research and development projects that have strong commercialization potential. Services may include program management, technical evaluation support, applicant outreach, data analysis, reporting, and administrative assistance to ensure compliance with federal guidelines and efficient program execution. The work will primarily be performed in California, and the agency is targeting a North American Industry Classification System code of 541511, which corresponds to custom computer programming services, reflecting the technical and analytical nature of the required support. Small Business Program Managers Abbey Campbell and Chadsey Kittock serve as the primary points of contact for this requirement, and while the solicitation has not yet been issued, the forecast indicates the agency is actively preparing for procurement. There is no set-aside designation specified, making it potentially open to all eligible contractors, but the nature of the work suggests a preference for firms with experience in federal innovation programs, science and technology administration, and direct knowledge of SBIR/STTR processes. The anticipated timeline places the forecast posting in mid-2026, suggesting the contract is expected to be awarded in the following year, with performance likely beginning shortly thereafter. Interested parties should monitor official channels for the formal solicitation release.
