The Company Registry is a new element of the SBIR/STTR data system and application process. Once you have registered, your company will be given an SBIR/STTR ID number that you will use when applying to any SBIR/STTR agency solicitation. SBA expects this to facilitate the application process and reduce the need for multiple data entry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Company Registry
What is the company registry?
Who must register?
All applicants to the SBIR or STTR programs must register on the SBIR/STTR Company Registry.
If my company is already registered on SAM, do I also need to register on SBIR.gov?
Yes, company registration is required in addition to registration on SAM. We will not be rolling out a company registry that integrates with SAM at this time.
When should I register? For example, if a solicitation was issued before January 28, 2013, do I still need to complete the company registry?
Please register beginning 1/28/2013 and prior to your application submission. If the solicitation was issued before 1/28/2013, you do not need to register. You must register prior to submitting an application because you will be providing a copy of your registration to the agency, with your application.
What happens if we change our corporate structure and change our EIN or DUNS number, are we considered a new company or existing company?
If you change your corporate structure, EIN, or DUNS, you would add a new record to the already existing company for data and recordkeeping purposes.
What happens if I have technical questions as I’m registering my company?
