Who is eligible for Army SBIR CATALYST?

To be eligible to receive a Phase II Sequential or Phase II Enhancement CATALYST award, a small business must have been awarded a base Phase II SBIR|STTR award by any government organization executed no earlier than FY20.

New for FY24, a PEO must submit a CATALYST application from the transition partner (PEO) prior to an RFP to be released from the CCoE. This is to ensure that all aspects of the CATALYST program are met by the Transition Partner/Integrator/Small Business Concern.

A PEO may recommend a SBC for a Direct to Phase II CATALYST via the application process, which will allow the small business to submit a Direct to Phase II CATALYST proposal if they performed the Phase I research through other funding sources.
