PEARL BIO, INC. — Department of Defense STTR Phase I: SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER RESEARCH (STTR) SERVICES PHASE I EFFORT TITLED SCALABLE

PEARL BIO, INC. — STTR Phase I award from Department of Defense.

Phase I STTR feasibility signal

  • Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
  • Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
  • Obligated amount $249,967. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
  • Tagged technology areas: Materials & Manufacturing. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.

Informational capture context from public federal data — not legal or bid advice.

Summary
