Construction Trades government contracts in Texas

The federal government has already bought construction trades work in Texas — and every one of those contracts is public record. Below is what our copy of that record says: who won, which agencies bought, what the awards were worth, and which contract terms run out soon. Underneath it sits the live feed of Texas solicitations you can still bid on.

The agencies buying construction trades in Texas

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 3,819 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.

Texas 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 3,819 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 Texas

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.

251 construction trades solicitations with a Texas place of performance have closed since we began tracking — the 8 most recent are listed.

How to use Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas — 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 Texas 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.

Texas construction trades contracts — common questions

How many federal construction trades contracts have been awarded in Texas?
We hold at least 3,819 federal contract awards with a Texas place of performance under the NAICS codes construction trades work is bought under, with periods of performance starting between Sep 9, 2025 and Oct 14, 2026. Every one is public record published by USAspending.gov and links back to its source award page.
Which NAICS codes cover construction trades government work?
238110, 238120, 238130, 238140, 238150, 238160, 238170, 238190, 238210, 238220, 238290, 238310, 238320, 238330, 238340, 238350, 238390, 238910, 238990 — the codes this page filters on. A federal solicitation carries exactly one NAICS code, and that code sets the SBA size standard deciding whether you count as a small business for it.
Who buys construction trades services in Texas?
Across the 500 most recent of at least 3,819 awards on record, the agencies that bought most often are Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Justice. That is by number of awards; the table on this page ranks the same agencies by reported dollars, which can put a different name first when one large contract outweighs many small ones.
Are there open construction trades bids in Texas right now?
Yes — 14 open solicitations with a Texas place of performance match these 19 NAICS codes as of this page load, each with a plain-English summary of what the job is and what disqualifies bidders.
Which NAICS codes count as construction trades?
The specialty-trade family runs 238110–238990 — concrete, masonry, framing, roofing, electrical (238210), plumbing/HVAC (238220), drywall, painting, flooring, site work, and more. Government solicitations are tagged by NAICS, so your code tells you which bids you can compete on.
Do I need a bond to bid on Texas government construction?
Usually. Public construction over a threshold typically requires a bid bond with your offer, plus performance and payment bonds if you win. Each bid's plain-English workup flags whether bonding is required and the amount, so you know before you spend time on it.
Do I need a license?
It depends on the trade. Texas licenses electricians, plumbers, and HVAC (air-conditioning and refrigeration) contractors at the state level, while general construction often doesn't require a state license. Every solicitation lists the licenses and certifications it requires.
