How general contracting contractors win federal work in Illinois

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.
