• direct awards for Phase III of an SBIR or STTR program;
• awards made under the Rapid Innovation Fund (for accelerating the fielding of innovative technologies developed using Department of Defense [DOD] research funding, and expedient DOD use of such technologies in defense acquisition programs); or
• any other contract vehicle.
