Register on BidBuy (bidbuy. Federal facility contracts peak in Q4 fiscal year (July–September) when agencies obligate remaining O&M budget. State and municipal FM RFPs cluster in Q1 calendar year (January–March) to align with fiscal-year-July contract starts. Grounds and landscaping bids advertise in late winter for the spring season; snow-removal contracts in July–August for the winter to follow. Multi-year FM primes typically run 1-year base + 4 option years. Set-aside eligibility is worth checking on every bid — many facilities & maintenance solicitations include small-business, minority, women-owned, or veteran-owned participation goals that can materially affect scoring even when the contract is not formally set aside.

Set-aside note: GSA and the VA are the two heaviest users of small-business set-asides in federal FM work — janitorial, grounds, and HVAC contracts are frequently reserved for 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, or SDVOSB firms. The Service Contract Act (SCA) applies to nearly every federal FM services contract, so bidders must build DoL wage determinations directly into pricing. State and local FM work follows state MBE/WBE/DBE preferences, and school-district contracts often carry local-preference points that favor in-district vendors on tie bids.
