Find government contracts
before your competitors do
We scan SAM.gov and state procurement databases every 6 hours and surface only the trade opportunities that match your license — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, painting, and more. Filter by state, set-aside type, and deadline. No noise, no wasted time.
The Problem
Government contracts are public.
Finding them is not.
SAM.gov lists every federal trade opportunity in the country — but the interface is built for procurement officers, not contractors. Searching it manually takes hours. Most tradespeople never check it at all.
Meanwhile, larger firms with dedicated in-house estimators scoop up small-business set-aside contracts that were meant for independent contractors like you.
BlueCollar Bids pulls every relevant posting, filters it to your trade and state, and puts it in a clean dashboard you can check in two minutes.
Process
How it works
We scrape SAM.gov every 6 hours
Our system hits the federal contracting API and pulls every new opportunity across 10 trade NAICS codes. State-level databases are added on a rolling basis.
You filter for what matters
Filter by trade category, state, set-aside type (small business, veteran-owned, woman-owned), and response deadline. Save your filters and check back daily in under two minutes.
You bid before the deadline
Every listing links directly to the original government posting with full scope of work, submission instructions, and contact details. No middleman, no markup.
