Awardees by technology domain
What the competitive landscape shows
The SBIR/STTR competitive landscape ranks the small businesses winning the most federal
Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer funding, measured by
total award dollars on record. Filter the ranking by agency, technology domain, program phase,
or fiscal year to see who leads a specific slice of the market. Open any firm's
awardee profile for its full award history, phase mix,
funding agencies, and top technology domains — all free and derived directly from public
federal award data.
Frequently asked questions
What is the SBIR/STTR competitive landscape?
It is a live, ranked view of the firms winning the most SBIR/STTR federal R&D dollars, built from public USASpending and SBIR.gov award records. You can filter the ranking by agency, technology area, phase, and fiscal year to see who leads a specific slice of the market.
How do I research a competitor's SBIR/STTR award history?
Open that firm's awardee profile to see its total awards and dollars, its Phase I vs. Phase II mix, which agencies fund it, its top technology domains, and its award timeline — all aggregated from public federal award data, free and without a login.
How does the 'firms like this' similarity work?
For a given firm we compare its set of technology domains and funding agencies against every other awardee using a weighted overlap (Jaccard) score, then rank the firms with the most shared domains and agencies. Sign in to see the full similar-firms list for any company.
Is the awardee intelligence data free?
Yes. The awardee profiles and the competitive landscape are free and public. Signing in unlocks the full 'firms like this' similarity list, and a Pro plan adds a watchlist that alerts you when a firm you track wins a new award.
