What is the payment timing for SBIR awards?

U.S. DOT SBIR awards are contracts, which provide payment after services are rendered or deliverables received. Payments for Phase I contracts will be made upon the acceptance of each of the three required reports, which are submitted bi-monthly and at the end of the contract.
