On Autopilot

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.

Found a $2.1M SDVOSB set-aside for network monitoring that we would have missed entirely. SAM.gov buried it under 400 results — Scout scored it 94 and put it top of my digest. We submitted and won.

Mike D.

CEO, 12-person SDVOSB Cyber Firm — Colorado Springs, CO

The capability fit analysis cut our bid/no-bid decision time from 2 hours to 5 minutes. Last quarter we reviewed 3x more opportunities and our win rate actually went up. ROI was obvious within the first week.

Sarah K.

BD Director, Defense IT Services — 65 employees, $18M revenue

I'm a one-person 8(a) engineering shop. Can't afford a BD team. Scout is my BD team — three contracts totaling $1.4M traced directly back to opportunities it surfaced from SBIR.gov and Grants.gov.

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.

Stop Searching. Start Winning.

Every day you spend manually searching SAM.gov is a day your competitors are using Scout.
