Contracts & RFPs
MilApi.com does not republish live solicitations. Use the official portals below for opportunities and awards. Summaries are editorial orientation only.
Opportunities
System for Award Management is the official U.S. government site for entity registration and for searching federal contract opportunities, including DoD and civilian agency solicitations, notices, and award announcements.
Awards & spend
Treasury-operated transparency portal that publishes federal award and spending data. Useful for researching who won past contracts, award amounts, agencies, and place of performance—not for bidding on open RFPs.
Authoritative system of record for federal procurement actions above reporting thresholds. Many public tools (including USAspending) draw from FPDS-sourced award reporting.
DoD innovation
DoD organization that accelerates commercial technology into military use. Publishes solicitations, challenge areas, and commercial solutions openings aimed at non-traditional and commercial vendors.
Small business R&D
Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs fund early-stage R&D. Topic lists and submission portals cycle by component and solicitation window.
Forecasts
Acquisition.gov centralizes the FAR and related acquisition policy. Individual DoD components and civilian agencies also publish annual small-business and procurement forecasts that tip upcoming requirements before formal SAM.gov postings.
Grants
Federal grants opportunity portal. Distinct from contracts, but relevant for dual-use research, university partners, and some defense-adjacent funding announcements.
