SBA Small Business Search Scraper

SBA Small Business Search Scraper extracts business profiles from the U.S. Small Business Administration's Small Business Search (SBS), formerly the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS): the official directory where small businesses market themselves to federal agencies and prime contractors. For every business you get the legal business name, DBA, UEI, CAGE code, contact person, email, phone, website, full address, county and congressional district, primary and all NAICS codes, SBA certifications (8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, EDWOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB), self-certifications, keywords, capabilities narrative, year established, legal structure, SAM status, bonding levels and the profile link. Search by keyword, filter by state, NAICS code, ZIP code or certification, and export to CSV, Excel or JSON. Perfect for teaming partner search, subcontractor sourcing and B2B lead generation in government contracting.

Original clean-room implementation. Returns only publicly displayed data. Not affiliated with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

You pay only for what the run returns. Set a maximum cost per run and it stops cleanly at that limit.
