The agencies buying construction trades in South Carolina
Knowing which agency actually spends the money in your state tells you whose forecast to read, whose industry days to attend, and whose small-business specialist to call. Counts and dollars are across the 500 most recent of at least 934 awards on record. The table is ranked by reported dollars, which is not the same order as how often an agency buys — one large contract can outrank a buyer that awards small jobs every month, so read the awards column too.

South Carolina construction trades contracts whose term ends within a year
The period of performance on these awards currently ends in the next twelve months. That is a signal worth watching, not a promise: many contracts carry option years the agency can exercise, which pushes the end date out without any new competition.

The NAICS codes construction trades work is bought under
A federal solicitation carries exactly one NAICS code, and that code decides two things at once: whether the bid reaches your feed, and what size standard you have to be under to bid it as a small business. Award counts are across the 500 most recent of at least 934 awards on record.

Industry titles are the official 2022 U.S. Census NAICS titles. Size standards come from our seed of the SBA table at 13 CFR 121.201. Where that seed lists the six-digit code itself, the figure shown is that code's own published standard. Where it does not, the row says so and shows the figure published for the NAICS family the code sits in — that is the family's number, not this code's, and sibling industries do not always share one. A blank means the seed carries neither, never that no standard applies. Confirm the code's own line in the current SBA table before you certify anything.

Past construction trades solicitations in South Carolina
Solicitations whose deadline has passed. You cannot bid these, and every page says so at the top — but the scope, the requirements and the issuing office are still there to read, which is the cheapest preparation there is for the next time the same agency buys the same work.
We hold no closed construction trades solicitations for South Carolina yet. The archive fills as the bids we track pass their deadlines — an empty archive here means our record is young, not that nothing has ever been solicited.
How to use South Carolina award history to win the next contract
Award records tell you who you are really bidding against
A solicitation tells you what an agency wants. The award record tells you what it has actually been willing to pay, and to whom. Before you price a South Carolina job, read the incumbent table above: if one company holds most of the awards under your NAICS code, you are bidding against an incumbent with past performance the evaluators already trust, and your proposal has to give them a reason to switch.
Period-of-performance end dates are your calendar
Most services work is re-competed near the end of its term. An award whose current end date lands in the next twelve months is the earliest honest signal that a new solicitation may be coming — early enough to introduce yourself to the contracting office, request a copy of the current statement of work, and be a known name when the notice posts. It is only a signal: option years exist, and agencies exercise them.
One NAICS code decides whether you count as small
Each solicitation names a single NAICS code, and the SBA size standard attached to that code is the line between bidding as a small business and bidding open. The table above shows what our seed of the SBA table holds: for some codes the code's own published figure, and for the rest only the figure published for its NAICS family, which those rows label as such. A family figure is a rough bearing, not the threshold you certify against — check your own average annual receipts against the code's own line in 13 CFR 121.201 before you self-certify. A wrong certification is the kind of mistake that gets a proposal thrown out after you have already done the work of writing it.
Prevailing wages on federal construction
Federally funded construction contracts over $2,000 carry Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements: the wage determination attached to the solicitation sets the minimum hourly rate and fringe benefits you must pay by trade classification and by county. Those rates go into your bid before your margin does, and they vary within South Carolina — price from the determination attached to the specific solicitation, not from a state average. Our free wage-determination tool points you at the official figures.
Where these numbers come from
Award data on this page is federal contract spending published by USAspending.gov, filtered to a South Carolina place of performance and the NAICS codes listed above. Open bids come from SAM.gov and state procurement feeds. We publish what the record says and label what it leaves blank — where a field is empty upstream, this page says "not reported" rather than filling it in.
