NASA OIG Report on SBIR/SBTT Contract Management

NASA’s Management of Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Contracts Funded by the Recovery Act
“We found NASA’s Recovery Act internal controls were generally effective in ensuring proper oversight, management, and transparency of Recovery Act funded SBIR/STTR contracts. The contracts we reviewed largely met cost, schedule, and performance milestones. … However, we also found that due to resource limitations NASA did not implement three Recovery Act internal controls, including two controls relating to COTR certification and training.”
