Free bid lists by state

The figure beside each state is the number of solicitations open for it in our feed at this moment. A state showing none has been checked and has nothing open in the trades we cover — it is not a page we have failed to build.

How to work a bid list without wasting a fortnight

A list of open solicitations is not a list of work you can win. Most contractors discover this the expensive way: they find something that matches their trade, spend two weeks on a proposal, and lose to an incumbent who has held the contract for nine years and wrote half the requirement. The list is a starting point, and the skill is throwing most of it away quickly.

Three screens do almost all of the work. The deadline is on the rows here; the other two are in the solicitation itself, one click away. The deadline comes first: a solicitation closing inside two weeks that you have only just heard about is usually somebody else's contract already, unless it is small and repetitive. The set-aside comes second — if it is reserved for 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB or SDVOSB firms and you are not certified, no proposal will fix that, and it is the single most common reason a ready bidder is disqualified on a technicality. The mandatory site visit comes third, because it is a date you can miss without noticing, and missing it is fatal on the jobs where it applies.

What is left after those three screens is a much shorter list, and it is worth reading properly. Open the posting, read the statement of work rather than the title, and find the bonding and insurance requirements before you price anything — a bid bond you cannot get ends the conversation regardless of how good your number is.

Then work backwards. The buyers on this list post again: agencies reuse the same contracting offices, the same clause sets and often the same incumbents, and a recompete of work you have studied is a far better bet than a cold response to something you found yesterday. That is what the award history on this site is for — the same states, the same trades, but looking at what has already been bought rather than what is being asked for now.

Where this list comes from

Source.
Federal solicitations published on SAM.gov, and state solicitations from the Texas Electronic State Business Daily. Both are public records, read directly from the issuing portal. We are not reselling another vendor's feed, and each row opens the solicitation's own page here, which carries the source's link back to the original posting wherever the source published one — so you can check what we say against it.
What counts as open.
A solicitation is listed here while it is marked open AND its response deadline is still ahead. Source systems rarely flip a posting's status when it closes, so the deadline is what we go on — which is why nothing on this page has already expired.
Scope.
This is not every government bid in the United States. Both of our sources are filtered on the way in to the trades this site covers — construction and janitorial work, 20 six-digit NAICS codes between them — so a solicitation outside those codes never enters the feed and cannot appear below. What a page shows is capped as well: the rows are the soonest-closing of what we hold, with any others in the open feed. Treat it as a floor under the market rather than a measure of it.
Deadlines.
Each deadline is shown in the time zone the issuing portal publishes it in — Central for the Texas ESBD, the place-of-performance zone for a SAM.gov notice. Where we cannot establish the zone we show the date with no time rather than a time that might be wrong by hours.
Missing values.
Where a posting records no buyer, no NAICS code or no estimated value, the cell is left empty rather than filled in. A blank here means the source did not say.

Free government bid lists — common questions

Is this bid list really free?
Yes. Nothing on it sits behind a form. Each row carries its deadline, its buying agency and its solicitation number and opens the solicitation's own page here — no account to make, no form in the way and no download to request. The page is capped rather than gated: it shows the 15 closing soonest, and any others we hold are in the open feed, which is free to search too. We sell a paid workup on individual solicitations, which is a different thing: the list of what is open is public record and we treat it that way.
Which state has the most open government bids right now?
Texas, with 18 open solicitations in our feed at the moment — out of 25 across the 8 states and districts that currently have any. That is a count of what we hold for the trades we cover, not of everything the government has advertised, and it moves daily as deadlines pass.
What is actually on the list?
This is not every government bid in any one state. Both of our sources are filtered on the way in to the trades this site covers — construction and janitorial work, 20 six-digit NAICS codes between them — so a solicitation outside those codes never enters the feed and cannot appear below. What a page shows is capped as well: the rows are the soonest-closing of what we hold, with any others in the open feed. Treat it as a floor under the market rather than a measure of it. Every row is a live solicitation: open, with a response deadline still ahead of it. Postings whose deadline has passed drop off automatically rather than sitting at the top of a stale list.
Do I need a SAM.gov registration to bid on these?
For the federal ones, yes — an active SAM.gov registration with a Unique Entity ID is a condition of award, and it is free. State and local solicitations have their own registration, which for Texas is the CMBL. Both take longer than most contractors expect, so start them before you find a bid you want rather than after; our free checkers will tell you where you stand in a couple of minutes.
How often does the list change?
Continuously. New solicitations are posted every working day and every listed one disappears the moment its deadline passes, which is why this page reads the feed live rather than serving a file that was built last week. If you would rather not check, the free weekly email tells you what arrived.
Can I get the list as a spreadsheet?
No, and we would rather say so than collect an address for a file that does not exist. What we send instead is a weekly email of the new postings. Nothing on this page is withheld for an address — it is capped rather than gated, showing the rows closing soonest, with any others we hold in the open feed. Each row opens the solicitation's own page here, which points back to the government's posting where the official documents live.

Hear about the next ones

Sam emails you a welcome note now and a free digest of the new solicitations that land each week. It is not narrowed by state: where we know your trade you get that trade's new postings, and otherwise a capped cross-trade digest.

We email you bid alerts — that's it. No spam, no selling your address. Unsubscribe anytime. Privacy Policy.

Free, no card, one address, unsubscribe from any email. We do not sell or share it.

Nothing here is behind the form

Each row above shows its deadline, its buying agency and its solicitation number, and opens the solicitation's own page here — which carries the link back to the government's posting wherever the source published one. There is no download to request and nothing withheld for an address. The page is capped rather than gated: it lists the rows closing soonest, and any others we hold are in the open feed, which is free to search as well. The email is for the next ones, not for these.

Narrow the list

See who already wins this work

Free tools before you bid

Where Sam has read a solicitation, his plain-English write-up sits under its title — what the job actually is, when it closes, and what the paperwork demands; where he has not, the row shows the source's own description instead. The list is free forever. The deep workup on an individual solicitation — what disqualifies bidders, what bonding is required, what the set-aside means for you — is the part we charge for, and it is published for specialty-trade construction and janitorial and facilities services. A solicitation outside those industries still gets its public record here (title, buyer, deadline, solicitation number and a link to the original posting) with no workup attached and nothing to buy.
