REI Systems Launches GovSBIR to Support Small Businesses in Federal Innovation Programs
STERLING, Va. – Nov. 18, 2025 – REI Systems, a key player in providing technology solutions for government, has introduced GovSBIR. This brand-new platform aims to modernize and simplify the complete process of the federal government’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.
Built on REI’s reliable GovGrants® framework and powered by Salesforce’s Agentforce, GovSBIR is a user-friendly, low-code solution. It provides federal agencies with a comprehensive system to manage both grant and contract-based SBIR and STTR awards—from initial application to commercialization—offering unmatched efficiency and transparency. The platform also lessens the workload for small business applicants by automating workflows and providing easy-to-use resources.
Drawing on REI Systems’ extensive experience in supporting agencies like NASA, the Department of Defense, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Small Business Administration, GovSBIR aims to fulfill the government’s goals for efficiency, fiscal responsibility, and IT modernization. This platform is designed to shift the focus from traditional systems to a product model that emphasizes impact, as noted by Heather Morgan, Senior Product Lead at REI Systems. “GovSBIR is more than just improved software; it’s about driving innovation at scale,” she shared.
GovSBIR helps address ongoing challenges by offering a shared solution that unifies systems, standardizes workflows, and enables real-time reporting to the SBA. This means lower overall costs for agencies, quicker setup times, and access to continuous improvements.
AI Boosting Efficiency and Integrity
GovSBIR incorporates advanced features powered by Einstein AI, enhancing both operational efficiency and program integrity. Key features include:
- Proposal Screening: This automates checks to quickly identify incomplete or non-compliant submissions, speeding up the evaluation process.
- Anomaly Detection: Helps to spot fraud, waste, and abuse within submissions.
- Virtual Assistants: These provide better support for reviewers and guidance for applicants.
- Compliance Checks: Automates the identification of common issues, freeing program staff to focus on more important tasks.
Using this intelligent automation, GovSBIR is expected to boost productivity by 30–50%, similar to improvements seen in other platforms developed by REI.
While tailored to support SBIR/STTR core processes, GovSBIR allows agencies to customize their rules, forms, and criteria, maintaining their independence while benefiting from a common technology framework.
