How general contracting contractors win federal work in Alabama

Federal construction isn't only for big general contractors. Most jobs need general contracting work, either bid directly or as a subcontractor to the company that wins.

  1. Register on SAM.gov (free). The government can't award you a contract until your business has an active SAM.gov registration. List NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) so contracting officers searching for general contracting work can find you.
  2. Look for set-asides. Small-business set-asides are reserved for smaller firms, so you compete with companies your size.
  3. Sub to the prime. Award notices name the company that won. Call early, introduce your trade and ask who handles subcontracting.
  4. Check every morning. Notices close fast. TheBidBroker checks SAM.gov daily and emails you only the general contracting work in your area.

General contracting bids in Alabama: common questions

Where can I find general contracting bids in Alabama?

Federal general contracting jobs are posted on SAM.gov. TheBidBroker checks them every morning and lists the open general contracting work on this page: 2 open bids right now, each linked to the official notice.

What NAICS code is used for general contracting contracts?

Most general contracting contractors register under NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). Agencies tag each federal solicitation with a NAICS code, and it sets the small business size limit for that job. List every code that fits your work in your SAM.gov registration.

Do general contracting contractors need a bond for public jobs?

Often, yes. Federal construction contracts over $150,000 require performance and payment bonds under the Miller Act, and many solicitations require a bid bond (often 5% of your bid). States have their own bond rules for state and local work. The bid documents always say what's required.

Can a small general contracting company win federal work?

Yes. Many federal general contracting jobs are small business set-asides, which only small businesses can bid as the prime (1 open bid on this page is one). Others are a good fit to subcontract to the prime contractor that wins.

Is TheBidBroker free?

Yes. Finding work is free: no credit card, no bidding fees and no commission on work you win. Pro adds tools like the bid document reader, and new accounts get 14 days of Pro free.
