Before you start:
Contract Search works best once your company profile is filled in, so CLEATUS can score each result against your strengths.
Run a search
Enter what you are looking for
From the left sidebar, open Contracts > Search. Type a keyword, solicitation number, or short description into the search bar and press Enter. CLEATUS searches the full text of every solicitation, not just titles.
Scope with Quick Filters
Use the Quick Filters row to instantly narrow to what matters: Active, Awarded, Federal, State & Local, DIBBS, Grant, SBIR / STTR, and more.
Read the Match Quality score
Every result card shows a Match Quality score. It reflects how well the opportunity fits your capture profile, so the strongest fits rise to the top.
Save the search as an alert
Happy with a search? Click Save. CLEATUS turns it into a Custom Alert and notifies you the moment a new matching contract is posted.
