The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Supply Chain Logistics of Manufactured TPS Materials

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: DLA23A003

    Through this DLA STTR program, NanoSonic and Penn State will work with a major US manufacturer of missile systems and hypersonic vehicles. Together we will demonstrate automated filament winding and resin transfer molding manufacturing processes to produce high temperature thermal protection system (TPS) materials and evaluate material properties to develop production statistics and quality contro ...

  3. High Entropy TPS Materials

    SBC: ADVANCED CERAMICS MANUFACTURING, LLC            Topic: DLA23A003

    Hypersonic aerial vehicles have tailored aerodynamic shapes with sharp leading edges to maximize performance. When a vehicle is travelling through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds of Mach 5 or higher, it encounters intense friction with the surrounding air. The nose cone and the leading edges of the flight vehicle will experience extremely high temperatures from 3000°F to 5000°F. Ultra-High T ...

  7. 3D Printed Ablative Re-Entry Vehicle Heat Shields

    SBC: MANTIS COMPOSITES INC            Topic: DLA23A003

    Re-Entry Vehicles (RVs) are a critical component of the strategic weapon arsenal. While physics packages themselves have a substantial deterrence value, the ability to deliver those weapons quickly and with high survivability unlocks the ability to maintain a truly global deterrence. However, these thermal protection systems are encountering two developing challenges: Industrial Base Attrition: Th ...
