I have an idea that doesn’t match any topics in the U.S. DOT SBIR solicitation. What should I do?

There are other ways to do business with U.S. DOT and the federal government. Visit the U.S. DOT Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization web page and SAM.gov to search for contract opportunities that match your idea and/or your capabilities. SAM.gov is the primary location to learn about U.S. DOT contract opportunities. Information about additional federal government funding opportunities can be found on the U.S. DOT SBIR site’s Additional Resources page.

Contact a small business specialist to learn about other opportunities within agencies.
