State contractor licenses, bonding capacity, OSHA safety certifications, and experience with Davis-Bacon wage requirements. Performance bonds typically required.

What to Prepare Before Responding

  • 1Verify contractor licenses are current
  • 2Confirm bonding capacity with surety
  • 3Prepare safety record documentation (EMR rating)
  • 4Gather past performance references for similar projects
  • 5Review prevailing wage requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

Federal construction contracts include new building construction, renovations, infrastructure projects, heavy civil engineering, and specialty trades work. Agencies like the Army Corps of Engineers, GSA, and VA are major sources of construction opportunities.
Requirements vary by solicitation and may include state contractor licenses, bonding capacity, safety qualifications, experience with applicable prevailing-wage requirements, and relevant past performance. Review the solicitation because bond amount and safety requirements are acquisition-specific.
The Miller Act generally requires performance and payment bonds for federal construction contracts exceeding $150,000. FAR 28.102-2 generally starts each amount at 100% of the original contract price but permits specified contracting-officer determinations and adjustments. Bid guarantees are governed separately by FAR 28.101.
Common codes include 236220 (Commercial Building Construction), 237310 (Highway and Street Construction), 238220 (Plumbing and HVAC), and various 238xxx codes for specialty trades.
