Full descriptions of U.S. DOT�s proposed FY20 Phase I solicitation research topics can be found in Appendix A: U.S. DOT SBIR Proposed FY20 Phase I Research Topics. During the pre-solicitation period, technical questions concerning the proposed research topics must be directed to the U.S. DOT SBIR Program Office via email at DOTSBIR@dot.gov. Questions shall be limited to specific information related to improving the understanding of a particular topic's requirements. Telephone inquiries or meeting requests will not be addressed. Potential offerors should not seek advice or guidance on its solution to any given topic nor submit any materials other than questions(s) regarding the topic. The U.S. DOT shall not respond to requests for advice or guidance on any offeror�s solution to any SBIR topic, and shall not consider any submitted materials other than questions. Potential offerors shall not include in the question(s) any information that they do not wish to be made public. The U.S. DOT SBIR Program Office intends to publish all questions and corresponding answers to the public. Technical questions regarding the research topics will be accepted only during the pre-solicitation period (January 6, 2020 through January 29, 2020). Technical questions will not be accepted after 5:00 pm ET on January 29, 2020. Only questions received by email as cited above prior to the deadline will be compiled by the U.S. DOT SBIR Program Office and sent to the U.S. DOT research topic authors for response. Answers to these questions will be available on the U.S. DOT SBIR Program website (https://www.volpe.dot.gov/sbir) when the U.S. DOT FY20 SBIR Phase I solicitation is released on or about February 6, 2020. Additionally, potential offerors will have the opportunity to ask questions in person with many of the U.S. DOT research topic authors and U.S. DOT SBIR Program Office personnel at the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting (http://www.trb.org/AnnualMeeting) in Washington, D.C.
