Question 1

How does CLEATUS find and analyze contracts for me?

Accepted Answer

CLEATUS acts as your AI capture manager, working in the background 24/7 scanning every new contract across federal, state, local, and education sources. It doesn't just list opportunities—it deeply analyzes each one against your business capabilities, past performance, preferences, and nuances to determine fit, identify pros and cons, surface key insights, and give you an actionable recommendation. Think of it as having a dedicated capture manager who never sleeps and reviews every single solicitation for you.

Question 2

What sources does CLEATUS pull contract opportunities from?

Accepted Answer

CLEATUS aggregates opportunities from SAM.gov (federal), USAspending.gov (award and spending data), over 40,000 state, local, and education (SLED) sources across the US, DLA DIBBS for parts and supplies, Grants.gov for federal grant opportunities, SBIR.gov and DoD DSIP for SBIR/STTR research and innovation topics, and forecast/pre-forecast data from agency procurement plans. All sources are updated daily so you never miss a relevant opportunity.

Question 3

What are Forecast and Pre-Forecast opportunities?

Accepted Answer

Pre-Forecast opportunities are contracts that agencies are planning but haven't officially solicited yet—early signals from sources like agency spending plans, budget documents, and procurement forecasts. Forecast opportunities are contracts that agencies have confirmed they intend to release in the near future. CLEATUS surfaces both so you can start positioning and building relationships months before a solicitation drops, giving you a significant head start over competitors who only react to posted RFPs.

Question 4

How are daily opportunity matches delivered?

Accepted Answer

CLEATUS sends a daily email digest with your top-matched opportunities. Each match includes an AI-generated analysis—fit score, pros and cons, compliance insights, and a clear recommendation—so you can make informed bid/no-bid decisions without opening a single PDF. You can also view and manage all matches in your dashboard at any time.

Question 5

Can I search for contracts using plain language?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our agentic contract discovery lets you describe what you're looking for in everyday English—like "healthcare IT contracts in Virginia under $500K"—and the AI searches across all jurisdictions to return matching results instantly. No complex filters or search syntax needed.

Question 6

Does CLEATUS cover state and local contracts, or just federal?

Accepted Answer

CLEATUS covers federal, state, local, and education (SLED) opportunities across all 50 states, plus Canadian procurement sources. Our database includes over 800,000 active opportunities updated daily, along with forecast and pre-forecast data to help you get ahead of the competition.
