New Data Source: SBIR/STTR Awards Are Now in CLEATUS 🚀
Shared by Mitt • We've integrated SBIR.gov into CLEATUS — Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer opportunities are now flowing into your recommendations alongside regular contract opportunities.
SBIR and STTR opportunities are now part of your CLEATUS recommendations feed.
What's New
SBIR/STTR is the latest data source to join CLEATUS. We've shipped a scraper and integration for sbir.gov — the federal competitive R&D grant and contract program covering all major agencies.
SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) and STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) awards now flow into CLEATUS alongside your regular contract and forecast recommendations.
How It Works
What SBIR/STTR is
These are federally-funded R&D programs that set aside a percentage of agency R&D budgets for small businesses. If your company does research, development, or technology work, these are often the most relevant federal funding opportunities available — and they're generally more accessible to small companies than traditional procurement contracts.
How it surfaces in CLEATUS
SBIR and STTR solicitations now appear in your recommendations feed, scored against your Capture Profile like other opportunities. If your capabilities and NAICS codes align with what agencies are funding through these programs, you'll see them.
Coverage
All major federal agencies that participate in SBIR/STTR are included — DoD, NIH, NSF, NASA, DOE, and more.
Why It Matters
Many small govcon companies that have the technical capabilities for SBIR/STTR work have never pursued it simply because they weren't tracking the solicitations. Having these opportunities surface in the same feed as your regular contracts means you won't miss Phase I and Phase II solicitations that could be a natural fit.
Get Started
Check your Recommendations feed — SBIR/STTR opportunities that match your profile will start appearing. Make sure your Capture Profile reflects your R&D and technical capabilities to get the most relevant matches.
Happy hunting! 🎯
