FIBERTEK, INC. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase III: PHASE III SBIR - HIGH-ALTITUDE WATER VAPOR AND OCEAN (HAWC) TRANSMITTER
FIBERTEK, INC. — 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 FIBERTEK, INC. 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 $3,643,136, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
