CREARE LLC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase III: SBIR PHASE III - CREARE LLC - 90 K 30 W CRYOCOOLER DESIGN AND DEMONSTRATION
CREARE LLC — SBIR Phase III award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase III transition / production-path signal
- Phase III work is typically non-SBIR set-aside follow-on. Seeing CREARE LLC at Phase III is a strong transition indicator in this domain.
- Competitors studying dual-use scale-up should treat Phase III firms as graduation benchmarks, not just Phase I/II volume leaders.
- At $13,367,984, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
