The Army SBIR|STTR FRE team assesses both company disclosures and business intelligence data through our providers. Once a small business submits a proposal via DSIP, the team identifies any discrepancies between the forms, and/or foreign nexus, and/or other business concerns from the business intelligence data to produce a Secondary Review report. The team uses the Secondary Review report to triage proposals based on risk indications and to determine whether the proposal requires enhanced deep-dive foreign risk evaluation reviews. Once deep-dive reviews and any necessary referrals are complete, the team finalizes the risk assessment and presents findings alongside the technical review in the proposal approval meeting for award decision.
