Questions
What is a research and development RFP?
A research and development RFP (request for proposals) is a notice in which a government agency asks companies to research and develop new technology, with a price and a proposal sent by a deadline. Federal agencies publish them on SAM.gov as solicitations, combined synopsis/solicitations or requests for quotes; presolicitations and sources sought notices announce them earlier.
How many research and development RFPs are open in Virginia right now?
10 on Nov 6, 2026, from 3 federal agencies. 15 more are announced (presolicitations and sources sought notices). The list is updated every day from SAM.gov.
Which NAICS codes do research and development government contracts use?
Bids for this service mostly use 541713 (Research and Development in Nanotechnology), 541714 (Research and Development in Biotechnology (except Nanobiotechnology)), 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology)) and 541330 (Engineering Services). Check the NAICS code in each notice: it decides the size standard for small-business set-asides.
How do I bid on research and development government contracts?
Register your business in SAM.gov (free) to get a Unique Entity ID, check that your NAICS code and size fit the notice, read the full solicitation and its amendments on SAM.gov, and send your offer before the deadline. Set-aside bids are limited to eligible small businesses, such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB or WOSB firms.
