How excavation & site work contractors win federal work

Federal construction isn't only for big general contractors. Most jobs need excavation & site work 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 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors) so contracting officers searching for excavation & site work 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 excavation & site work work in your area.

Excavation & site work bids in the U.S.: common questions

Where can I find excavation & site work bids in the U.S.?

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

What NAICS code is used for excavation & site work contracts?

Most excavation & site work contractors register under NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors). 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 excavation & site work 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 excavation & site work company win federal work?

Yes. Many federal excavation & site work jobs are small business set-asides, which only small businesses can bid as the prime (2 open bids on this page are). 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.
