SBIR PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The Small Business Innovation Research program identifies small businesses that can provide a solution to the warfighter in a faster, more efficient manner than was presently available. The program reduces barriers and accelerates processes, seeding the future of the Air Force through innovation and forward-thinking technology.

Through a competitive awards-based program, the SBIR program enables small businesses to explore their technological potential and provides the incentive to profit from its commercialization. If selected for a SBIR contract, small businesses may be looking for an Air Force customer.

There are many partnership opportunities within the Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center, the single intermediate-level headquarters responsible for providing installation and mission support capabilities to all Air Force and Space Force installations, major commands and direct reporting units. For more information, contact an AFIMSC innovation team:
