Harnessing Small Business Innovation to Advance Government Missions

We help build solutions that manage complex processes and connect small businesses with agencies. Whether it’s program solicitations or grants, we’ll cover every facet of the ecosystem for you.  Our solution builds, manages, maintains, and modernizes across the full SBIR/STTR program lifecycle — and we’ll tailor it to support any requirement, at any maturity level.

REI Understands the Importance of the SBIR and STTR Programs

As an SBIR graduate, we bring more than 30 years of experience designing and implementing solutions to help federal agencies like NASA, DoD, EPA, SBA, and NSF manage complex, information-intensive processes. We bring more holistic solutions to our customer’s challenges in addition to just technology, such as outreach, change management, communications, Program Management Office (PMO) support, and other advisory services.
