How to bid on open government contracts
- Register your business in SAM.gov. It is free and gives you a Unique Entity ID (UEI); a full registration is needed to bid on federal prime contracts.
- Find your industry code with the NAICS code lookup and filter the bids above by industry, state and set-aside.
- Read the full notice and attachments on SAM.gov: the scope of work, the deadline, how to submit and who the contracting officer is.
- Submit your response before the deadline, exactly as the notice asks.
Not ready to bid as a prime contractor? Check who already wins similar contracts and ask about subcontracting.

Types of government contract notices
- Solicitation
- A notice asking businesses to submit bids, quotes or proposals for a contract.
- RFP (Request for Proposals)
- A solicitation where the agency compares proposals on price and other factors, such as technical approach and past performance.
- RFQ (Request for Quotations)
- A request for price quotes, usually for simpler or smaller purchases.
- IFB (Invitation for Bids)
- A sealed-bid solicitation where the contract goes to the lowest-priced bidder that meets the requirements.
- Sources sought notice
- Market research by an agency asking which businesses could do the work. Answering can help persuade the agency to set the contract aside for small businesses.
- Presolicitation notice
- An advance notice that an agency plans to issue a solicitation soon.
- Set-aside
- A contract reserved for small businesses, or for a group such as 8(a), HUBZone, women-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.
Frequently asked questions
- Where are government contracts posted?
- Federal contracting opportunities are posted on SAM.gov under Contract Opportunities. This page lists the open notices from SAM.gov, updated daily, so you can search them by industry, state and set-aside.
- Do I need to register to bid on government contracts?
- Yes. To bid on a federal prime contract you need an active SAM.gov registration, which is free. Some notices, such as sources-sought notices, accept responses before you register, but you must register before you can be awarded the contract.
- What is a small business set-aside?
- A set-aside is a contract reserved for small businesses, or for a group of them such as 8(a), HUBZone, women-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned firms. Only businesses that qualify can bid on it.
- What is the difference between a solicitation and a sources-sought notice?
- A solicitation (an RFP, RFQ or IFB) asks for bids or proposals on a contract. A sources-sought notice is market research: the agency asks who could do the work, and your answer can help persuade it to set the contract aside for small businesses.
