Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer

The Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC) is the nationwide network of more than 300 federal laboratories, agencies and research centers chartered by the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 to move federally funded research into the wider economy. The FLC runs the FLC Business search over federal lab technologies and facilities, the interactive lab directory, the T2 Toolkit and Learning Center, and publishes the Green Book (Federal Technology Transfer Legislation and Policy). Its one machine-readable API surface is the public Greenbook API on api.federallabs.org, which backs the FLC Green Book mobile app with retrieval-augmented search over federal tech transfer legislation and policy.

Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer publishes 1 API contract indexed on the APIs.io network: Sections API. Tagged areas include Federal Government, Technology-Transfer, Research, Laboratories, and Government.

The Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 16 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

8 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Access Clarity scores 23.7 — up to +15.3 composite points
Contract Quality scores 40.4 — up to +14.9 composite points
Developer Ergonomics scores 37.5 — up to +12.5 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/federal-laboratory-consortium-for-technology-transfer/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/federal-laboratory-consortium-for-technology-transfer to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
US Federal API Programs (api.data.gov, Login.gov, GSA MAS, FedRAMP)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
