SBIR Phase-3: Streamlining your procurement of Desert Star products & services
Desert Star has a long working history with NOAA on various SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) funded projects including the first generation AquaMap diver system and the more recent SeaTag animal tags. These projects were primarily funded through NOAA SBIR funds and partially supplemented through direct sales of the SBIR derived products.

The SBIR program was designed by Congress as a three phase program (I: Research, II: Prototype, and III: Commercialization). The competition for SBIR Phase I and Phase II awards satisfies any competition requirement of the Armed Services Procurement Act, the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, and the Competition in Contracting Act. Therefore, an agency that wishes to fund an SBIR Phase III project (such as purchasing SeaTag directly from Desert Star) is not required to conduct another competition in order to satisfy those statutory provisions. As a result, in conducting actions relative to a Phase III SBIR award, it is sufficient to state for purposes of a Justification and Approval pursuant concludes efforts performed under prior SBIR funding agreements and is authorized under 10 U.S.C.2304(b)(2) or 41 U.S.C.253(b)(2).

In layman's terms, researchers and government organizations can purchase SBIR derived products directly from Desert Star without cost limitation and without open source solicitations. This streamlines the process for getting tags, positioning systems, etc into the hands of the operators.
