# Match open SBIR and STTR solicitations to a robotics startup

**Use case:** 

Finds Grants.gov SBIR and STTR opportunities posted in the last year and scores up to 15 of them for a sample 12-person autonomous-systems and computer-vision startup. Returns the fit score, bid or skip verdict, matching keywords and NAICS codes, eligibility notes and days to close, so a founder sees which parent solicitations to read first. Free rules scorer, no key.

## How it works

### 1. Sign up on Apify or log in

The Grant & RFP Fit Scorer (AI) — Grants.gov, SAM.gov Bid/No-Bid Actor is ready to run with the inputs already set for "Match open SBIR and STTR solicitations to a robotics startup". [Sign up or log in](https://console.apify.com/create-task-from-example/kJwZwHRoDTn4cFSSR) and you'll land in Apify Console with a copy of this exact task.

### 2. Start the "Match open SBIR and STTR solicitations to a robotics startup" task

The Grant & RFP Fit Scorer (AI) — Grants.gov, SAM.gov Bid/No-Bid Actor will start running based on the input automatically. You can also change all the input fields, like company profile, opportunities to score (optional), and more, to match your specific use case.

### 3. Receive the "Match open SBIR and STTR solicitations to a robotics startup" output

Monitor the progress in real time. You will be notified as soon as your dataset is complete and ready for review. Each result includes data such as fit, verdict, opportunity, and more.

### 4. Integrate into your workflow

The final output is delivered in JSON, CSV, or Excel format, ready to be plugged into your workflow. You can also [run the "Match open SBIR and STTR solicitations to a robotics startup" task via API](https://apify.com/owlabee/gov-opportunity-fit-scorer.md).

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Grant & RFP Fit Scorer (AI) — Grants.gov, SAM.gov Bid/No-Bid](https://apify.com/owlabee/gov-opportunity-fit-scorer.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/owlabee/gov-opportunity-fit-scorer.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/owlabee/gov-opportunity-fit-scorer.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
