How to win federal construction work in Illinois

Three ways subcontractors get into federal work:

  1. Bid directly. Small-business set-asides are reserved for smaller firms. You'll need an active SAM.gov registration (free) before the government can award you a contract.
  2. Sub to the prime. Award notices name the company that won. Call early, introduce your trade and ask who handles subcontracting on that job.
  3. Watch every morning. Notices close fast. TheBidBroker checks SAM.gov daily and emails you only the work that fits your trade and area.
