How water & sewer contractors win federal work in California

Federal construction isn't only for big general contractors. Most jobs need water & sewer 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 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction) so contracting officers searching for water & sewer 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 water & sewer work in your area.

Water & sewer bids in California: common questions

Where can I find water & sewer bids in California?

Federal water & sewer jobs are posted on SAM.gov. TheBidBroker checks them every morning and lists the open water & sewer work on this page: 1 open bid right now, each linked to the official notice.

What NAICS code is used for water & sewer contracts?

Most water & sewer contractors register under NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures 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 water & sewer 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 water & sewer company win federal work?

Yes. Many federal water & sewer jobs are small business set-asides, which only small businesses can bid as the prime. Others are a good fit to subcontract to the prime contractor that wins.
