Top federal buyers of construction services

• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) — by far the largest federal construction buyer
• Department of Veterans Affairs (VA medical facilities, cemeteries)
• GSA — Public Buildings Service (federal courthouses, office buildings)
• Department of Defense base infrastructure (NAVFAC, AFCEC, AFCAP)
• National Park Service (facility maintenance and renovation)

Set-asides that matter most for construction

Construction contracts have set-aside thresholds that vary by NAICS, but most fall under simplified-acquisition rules where small-business set-asides are common. Watch especially for:

• HUBZone set-asides — many federal construction projects are in or near HUBZone-qualifying areas
• SDVOSB set-asides — the VA’s Vets-First preference applies broadly
• 8(a) Sole-Source awards for emergency or schedule-critical work
• SBA Total Small Business set-aside — the most common umbrella for federal construction

What Ultraria sends you each morning

One clean email by 7 AM ET listing every SAM.gov construction opportunity posted in the last 24 hours that matches your NAICS, set-aside, dollar-range, and place-of-performance filters. Each item shows title, agency, NAICS, set-aside, deadline, geographic location (so you can filter by drive-time radius), and a one-line match explanation.

State and local construction (coming soon)

State DOTs, county school districts, and municipal public-works departments collectively post more construction RFPs than the federal government. We’re building a SLED add-on at $49/mo — contact us to join the early-access list.
