Questions
What is a scientific research RFP?
A scientific research RFP (request for proposals) is a notice in which a government agency asks companies to run scientific studies, sampling and monitoring, 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 scientific research RFPs are open right now?
21 on Nov 7, 2026, from 7 federal agencies in 9 states. 39 more are announced (presolicitations and sources sought notices). 14 of the open bids are set aside for small businesses. The list is updated every day from SAM.gov.
Which NAICS codes do scientific research government contracts use?
Bids for this service mostly use 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services). Check the NAICS code in each notice: it decides the size standard for small-business set-asides.
How much are scientific research contracts worth?
The middle half of the 14 recent awards with a published amount was between $22.2K and $425.5K (median $53.2K), from SAM.gov award notices. The award amount is the value in the notice, often including options.
How do I bid on scientific research 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.
