SHELDON
July 16, 2025
This is the SHELDON Methodology for determining AFWERX Portfolio. The analysis is based on the following criteria:
The portfolio composition and all Innovate Act thresholds/tests have been turned into functions to allow for testing different and/or evolving parameters.
This section explores companies that exceed $75M in total Phase I/II amount.
This section explores companies that have $40M or more in USG revenue over the last 12 months.
This section explores the the percentage of SHELDON Transition Awards [FPDS Phase III + Sub-Contracts + Non-SBIR Procurement] to total Federal Revenues [SHELDON Transition + Phase I + Phase II].
We explore the number of entities that have at-least 65% of their total Federal Revenues as SHELDON Transition Awards over the last 3 years.
This section looks for entities that exceed 25 Phase II awards, and pass a ratio of Phase II to Phase I awards based up the number of Phase I awards the entity has received.
The ratios are as follows:
25 Phase I’s: .5 (5 Phase II’s for every 10 Phase I’s)
This section explores a 2 part test from aspects of section C and D. It fails any entity with over 25 Phase II awards and SHELDON Transition Award Revenue as a percentage of total Federal Revenue of less than 65% over the last 3 years.
This section showcases the some key metrics at the company level.
This section explores the proportion of AFWERX award dollars by award type from the AFWERX GCP database.
