How painting contractors win federal work in California

Federal construction isn't only for big general contractors. Most jobs need painting 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 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering Contractors) so contracting officers searching for painting 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 painting work in your area.
