Free Alaska government bid list

69,030 federal contract awards for work performed in Alaska are on file, measured August 21, 2026. The contractors below hold the largest totals among them. Before you spend a fortnight on a proposal, it is worth knowing whether the incumbent is a two-truck outfit or a company with a decade on the contract — and whether your better move is bidding against them or subcontracting to them.

Alaska government bids — common questions

Is the Alaska bid list 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: where we hold anything for it, it shows the rows closing soonest, and any others are in the open feed, which is free to search too. 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.

What kind of Alaska contracts are on this list?

This is not every government bid in Alaska. 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.

Who currently wins government work in Alaska?

Across the federal contract awards on file for work performed in Alaska, DOYON UTILITIES, LLC holds the largest total — 3 awards. That is a ranking of the records we hold rather than of every contractor in the state, and it is worth reading before you bid: the incumbent on a recompete is who you are actually competing with, and on a large job they are often who you should be calling about subcontracting instead.

Do I have to be based in Alaska to bid?

No. Federal solicitations are open to any business with an active SAM.gov registration wherever it is headquartered, and the state shown here is the place of performance — where the work happens. Being local genuinely helps on mobilization cost and on site visits, and some state and local solicitations do apply residency or local preference, but the federal ones on this list do not.

What do I need before I can bid on these?

An active SAM.gov registration with a Unique Entity ID is the baseline for anything federal, it is free, and it takes longer than most contractors expect — start it before you find a bid you want. Then check the set-aside on the solicitation itself: if it is reserved for 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB or SDVOSB firms and you are not certified, no proposal will change that. Our free checkers cover both in a couple of minutes.
