Questions

Where do federal snow removal contracts get posted?

On SAM.gov, the official U.S. government contracting site. GroundsBids pulls the SAM.gov Opportunities API every day and lists open snow, ice and grounds bids by state and NAICS code, each linked to the original SAM.gov notice.

What NAICS code is snow removal?

It depends on the work. Per the official 2022 NAICS index, stand-alone snow plowing of driveways and parking lots is 561790, snow plowing combined with landscaping is 561730, and highway snow removal is 488490. The federal service code (PSC) is S218. See our full answer at groundsbids.com/what-naics-code-is-snow-removal/.

When do snow removal bids come out?

They come out on their own schedule, agency by agency, and response windows can be short. Check the closing date on every notice and look at the list often; the free weekly digest helps you not miss one.

Can a small snow plow or landscaping company bid on federal contracts?

Yes. Many of these bids are small-business set-asides (total small business, SDVOSB, Indian small business and others). You need an active SAM.gov entity registration with a Unique Entity ID to submit a bid.

Is GroundsBids free?

Yes. The site and the weekly email digest are free. We are testing interest in a paid tier with daily alerts by state and a set-aside filter at about $15/month.
