TURNAROUND FACTOR, INC. — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Defense funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- At $1,597,026, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.

Description
Today DLA assembles and kits the UGR at a single facility in San Joaquin (DDJC). Any disruptions in the San Joaquin area would rapidly endanger DLA’s ability to supply UGRs. The fixed assembly and kitting location also prevents DLA from providing the flexibility to respond to emerging customer requirements, such as CONUS and OCONUS disaster relief. TAF will combine its expertise in manufacturing with its extensive experience developing the Deployable Depot to implement a Deployable Group Rations (DGR) Platform that is containerized in 20’ ISO containers so it can be rapidly moved using existing military and commercial surface and air transport equipment. The DGR Platform can be deployed and operational within 6 hours (threshold) / 3 hours (objective), and will operate in a wide variety of weather conditions and environments. This modular, flexible, and scalable DGR Platform will be based on the CONOPS developed in Phase I. At the end of Phase II TAF will deliver a functional prototype DGR Platform to DLA for operational testing.
