How It Works

Your Opportunity Pipeline,
On Autopilot

Set up your profile once. We scan, score, and deliver — so you can focus on winning contracts, not searching for them.

01

Multi-Source Scanning

SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and SBIR.gov — scanned daily for defense opportunities matching your profile.

02

AI Relevance Scoring

Every opportunity scored 0–100 against your NAICS codes, keywords, set-asides, and capabilities.

03

Daily Intel Digest

Prioritized matches delivered to your inbox each morning — deadlines, scores, and fit analysis.

04

Capability Fit Analysis

AI-generated capability fit narratives tailored to each opportunity and your company profile.

The Problem

Stop Searching. Start Winning.

Most SDVOSBs spend 10+ hours per week manually searching SAM.gov. That's time that should be spent on proposals.

Manual Search

  • 10+ hours/week on SAM.gov alone
  • Miss opportunities on Grants.gov & SBIR.gov
  • No scoring — reading every posting manually
  • Deadlines slip through the cracks
  • No capability matching

Ceradon Scout

  • Automated daily scans — zero manual work
  • SAM.gov + Grants.gov + SBIR.gov in one place
  • AI scores every opportunity 0–100
  • Digest with deadline alerts each morning
  • AI capability fit analysis per match

Testimonials

Trusted by Defense Contractors

Small businesses winning more contracts with less effort.

We went from spending 12 hours a week on SAM.gov to getting a scored digest every morning. Found a $2M SDVOSB set-aside we would have missed.

Mike D.

CEO, SDVOSB Cybersecurity Firm

The capability fit analysis alone is worth the price. It drafts the initial relevance narrative so we can decide in seconds whether to pursue.

Sarah K.

BD Director, Defense IT Services

As a one-person 8(a) shop, I can't afford a BD team. Scout is my BD team. Three contracts traced back to opportunities it surfaced.

James R.

Owner, 8(a) Engineering Firm

FAQ

Common Questions

What data sources does Ceradon Scout scan?

We scan SAM.gov (federal contracts), Grants.gov (federal grants), and SBIR.gov (small business innovation research solicitations) daily. Enterprise plans can add custom feeds.

How does the AI scoring work?

Each opportunity is scored 0–100 based on NAICS code match, keyword relevance, set-aside eligibility, deadline urgency, and historical award patterns.

Is this only for SDVOSBs?

No — while we have deep support for SDVOSB set-asides, Scout works for any small business pursuing federal contracts. We support 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, and general small business filters.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. All plans are month-to-month. Cancel from your dashboard and retain access through the end of your billing period.

Do I need a SAM.gov registration?

Not to use Scout, but you'll need an active SAM.gov registration (and UEI) to bid on contracts. We help you identify which opportunities are worth pursuing.

How is this different from searching SAM.gov directly?

SAM.gov requires manual effort, covers one source, and has no scoring. Scout scans 3 sources, scores every opportunity against your profile, and delivers a prioritized digest daily.
