How to Check Your Proposal Status
The Air Force has implemented on-line proposal status updates for Small Businesses submitting proposals against Air Force topics. At the close of the Phase I solicitation – and following the submission of a Phase II via the Department of Defense SBIR/STTR Submission web site (https://www.dodsbir.net/submission) – Small Businesses can track the progress of their proposal submission by logging into the Small Business section of the Air Force SBIR/STTR web site. The Small Business section (accessible via the login panel on the right) is password protected and firms can view their information only.
To receive a status update of a proposal submission, click the “Proposal Status” link at the top of the page in the Small Business section (after logging in). A listing of proposal submissions to the Air Force within the last 12 months is displayed.
Status update intervals are: Proposal Received, Evaluation Started, Evaluation Completed, Selection Started, and Selection Completed. A date will be displayed in the appropriate column indicating when this stage has been completed. If no date is present, the proposal submission has not completed this stage. Small Businesses are encouraged to check this web site often as it is updated in real-time and provides the most up-to-date information available for all proposal submissions. Once the “Selection Completed” date is visible, it could still be a few weeks (or more) before you are contacted by the Air Force with a notification of selection or non-selection. The Air Force receives thousands of proposals during each solicitation and the notification process requires specific steps to be completed prior to a Contracting Officer distributing this information to a Small Business.
