If you could design a browser extension for SAM gov, what would it do?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking into the everyday headaches we experience while using the SAM gov site. I'm trying to determine if a custom browser extension could actually smooth out the workflow and save people some time.
Rather than throwing out my own ideas, I’d love to get your unfiltered thoughts. If a Chrome or Edge extension existed specifically for SAM gov, what features would actually make your life easier?
- Are there general, site-wide annoyances you'd want to fix?
- Which specific areas (like the opportunity search, workspace dashboard, or registration pages) cause the most friction?
- Is there a highly repetitive, manual part of your process that an extension could automate?
Please drop your biggest pain points and absolute dream features below!

100% Free, Proposal or Project Cost Estimator
Im building free tools to help the community. I always struggle with putting together a cost proposal, so I built a simple tool to help the process. Hopefully it helps some of you save time. Check it out at https://defmetrix.com
The summary tab should give you all the numbers you need to submit with your proposal. You can also save as pdf to upload with your cost volume and the reviewers will have all the answers they need.
I’m happy to answer any questions or help if I can. Also I’m open to more ideas. What other tools can I build to help you guys?

Did you receive a rejection letter from the NIH for foreign risk?
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) rejects more SBIR and STTR projects because of foreign risk.
The Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act of 2026 requires federal agencies to explain foreign risk decisions. However, many rejection letters do not give specific reasons for the decision.
We collect information to measure this problem. We want to evaluate options for action, such as:
Contact Congress.
Start legal action under the Administrative Procedure Act.
