Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to use another company’s SBIR work in our bid?
Yes — with proper teaming agreements, IP rights, and transition planning, it’s not only legal but encouraged under certain agency programs.
Do we need to buy the company?
Not necessarily. Many awardees are open to licensing agreements, teaming relationships, or joint proposals to keep their work alive.
Why would a company give up their SBIR?
Smaller firms often lack the resources, access, or desire to pursue government work beyond early R&D. You can help them cross that bridge — and gain a strategic edge.
What sets your service apart from competitors?
Unlike firms that offer generic playbooks, Agility Development Group provides a hands-on, customized approach built on decades of real-world government contracting experience. We don’t just advise — we embed with your team, help shape opportunities before they hit SAM.gov, and drive strategy with the same urgency and ownership as an internal BD lead. Our vested model ensures we’re accountable to your outcomes, not just your hours.
