Find the Best Government Contracts with CLEATUS

Updated today

CLEATUS makes finding and managing government contracts easy with its advanced Contract Search tools. Whether you're looking for federal, state, local, or education contracts, CLEATUS centralizes everything in one place, saving you time and effort.


Smart Search vs. Keyword Search

CLEATUS offers two powerful search methods to help you find the right contracts:

🧠 Smart Search (Semantic Search)

Use Smart Search when you need broader, AI-driven results. Instead of searching for exact keywords, CLEATUS understands concepts and related terms, giving you more relevant contracts—even if the exact wording isn’t used.

💡 Example: Searching for “IT Services” might return contracts labeled “Software Development,” “Network Support,” or “Cybersecurity Consulting.”

🎯 Filter Search (Direct Search)

Use Filter Search when you need specific results. This method searches for exact words, phrases, place of performance, department, NAICS code etc in contract titles and descriptions.

💡 Example: Searching “cloud computing” will only return contracts that explicitly contain that term.
