What you get
Three things, every time a job posts
Skip the digest. Skip the PDF. See the call in 15 seconds.
A text the minute a job hits
SMS and email alerts dialed in to your radius, contract size, NAICS, set-asides, and keywords. Fewer notices, all real.
A 15 second yes or no read
Scope, deadline, set-aside, amendments, CMMC and wage flags, and prior-bid failures right at the top, before you open the PDF.
Who held it and what they got paid
Incumbent name, obligated dollars, contract end date, and recompete timing so you can price with real history instead of guessing.
Rule out the dead ones in 15 seconds
Save the 40 hours for the bid you can actually win.
Red Flag
This bid may already be wired
When a solicitation drops days after the government's market research, the scope is often shaped for a vendor they already picked. We flag it so you do not waste an estimator on it.
Red Flag
4 or more amendments issued
Too many amendments usually means a moving target. See that risk early and decide whether the job is still worth pricing.
Red Flag
Missing CMMC certification
If CMMC is buried in the package, you should know before your estimator or PM spends time on a bid you cannot submit.
Teaming network
Prime ↔ sub. Both directions
Find subs when you win a contract that needs trades you do not carry. Or register so primes who win in your trade area can find you.
For primes
Find subs for the jobs you win
Search registered subcontractors by NAICS scope, state, bonding capacity, and set-aside (SDVOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB). Matched to subs that primes like you have actually hired before, based on past federal subcontract awards.
For subs
Get found by primes hiring your trade
Register your NAICS scope, location, bonding capacity, and certifications once. Primes winning federal contracts in your trade area search the registry and contact you. Plus recommended primes based on subcontract awards similar to your trade profile.

Federal Contracting FAQs
Straight answers for contractors looking at federal construction work
How do I find federal construction opportunities on SAM.gov?
SAM.gov lists all federal government contracting opportunities. RenovationRoute automatically monitors SAM.gov for construction projects, filters by your location radius, and sends SMS alerts within minutes of posting. No more manual searching through thousands of irrelevant opportunities.
What are common compliance requirements for federal construction bids?
Federal construction contracts often require: SAM.gov registration, bonding capacity, insurance, prevailing wage compliance, Buy American Act adherence, and sometimes CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) or security clearances. RenovationRoute automatically detects these requirements and warns you before you invest time.
How do I know if I have a real shot at a federal bid?
Our calculator scores opportunities based on your company profile: bonding capacity, distance to project, team size, past performance, and set-aside eligibility. It also factors in complexity indicators like amendment count, previous bid failures, and CMMC requirements. Fill your profile once and get instant scoring for every opportunity.
What is CMMC and why does it matter for federal bids?
CMMC is required for many Department of Defense contracts. There are 3 levels with increasing cybersecurity requirements. If an opportunity requires CMMC certification you do not have, you will be disqualified. RenovationRoute flags CMMC requirements automatically so you know before preparing a bid. Start with the free SPRS precheck. If you need help getting certified, the team over at MSTechAlpine specializes in helping construction contractors clear that hurdle.
Why do previous bids fail on federal contracts?
Common reasons: missing required attachments, not following solicitation instructions exactly, failing to address all requirements, submitting late, or not having required certifications. If SAM.gov shows previous bids were rejected, RenovationRoute displays the government's stated reason so you can avoid the same mistakes.
How quickly do I get notified of new opportunities?
RenovationRoute checks SAM.gov every 6 hours and sends SMS plus email alerts within minutes when a matching construction opportunity posts in your radius. You will often see opportunities before competitors who rely on daily email digests or manual searches.
Why do federal RFPs keep getting amended?
Amendments are changes to the original solicitation. Multiple amendments indicate complex or shifting requirements. RenovationRoute tracks amendment counts and flags high complexity opportunities so you can decide if they are worth pursuing.
Do I need special software to bid on federal contracts?
No. Actual bid submission happens on SAM.gov. RenovationRoute helps you discover opportunities, evaluate compliance requirements, and calculate win probability before you invest 40 plus hours preparing a bid. Once you decide to bid, you submit through SAM.gov as usual.
How much does it cost compared to other federal contracting tools?
RenovationRoute is $20 per month. Competitors like GovWin IQ cost $149 per month, FindRFP $79 per month, and GovShop $50 per month, none of which offer automated compliance detection or win likelihood scoring.
What construction types are covered?
All NAICS code 23 construction: building construction (236), heavy civil engineering (237), and specialty trade contractors (238). This includes military base construction, VA hospital renovations, infrastructure projects, building additions, HVAC upgrades, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and more.
How do I know if a bid is wired for another company?
Wired bids are hard to spot but leave signals. When a solicitation drops unusually fast after a government market research notice, it often means the scope was shaped around a specific vendor. RenovationRoute flags short RFI to RFP windows and explains what the signal means so you can decide whether the opportunity is worth pursuing.
Can I see who held the contract before?
Yes. RenovationRoute uses past federal award data to show you the previous contract holder, what they were paid, and when the contract ended. Knowing the incumbent tells you whether you are entering a competitive recompete or bidding against a deeply entrenched vendor.
How do I find the incumbent on a federal construction contract?
Federal award history lists the company that held the last award, the obligated amount to date, and when the current term ends. RenovationRoute reads that data where it is available and surfaces incumbent name, obligated value, and contract end date directly on the opportunity so you see the full context before you decide to bid.
What is a recompete contract?
A recompete contract is an existing federal contract that is being re bid because the term is ending or the ceiling is nearly consumed. RenovationRoute flags opportunities that fall into a typical 6 to 18 month recompete window for your NAICS codes so you can focus on contracts where timing and incumbent risk are clear.
