Win More Government
Facilities Contracts.

The federal government manages over 300,000 buildings and facilities nationwide. Facilities management contracts include: operations and maintenance (O&M), base operations support (BOS), HVAC and mechanical systems, electrical systems maintenance, grounds maintenance, property management, energy management, building automation, and integrated facilities management. GSA, DOD (USACE, NAVFAC, Air Force Civil Engineer), VA, and DHS are major facilities contracting agencies.

A Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines what results the government expects from a facilities management contractor—rather than prescribing how to do the work. FM solicitations often include massive PWS documents covering every aspect of building operations. SamSearch AI extracts the key performance requirements, staffing levels, service standards, and evaluation criteria from PWS documents so you can quickly assess whether to pursue and how to price.

Recompetes—where incumbents defend their existing contracts—are among the most valuable opportunities in government FM. Knowing when a contract is coming up for recompete gives you 12-18 months to position against the incumbent. SamSearch tracks contract end dates, option period expirations, and agency procurement forecasts to alert you to recompete opportunities well before they hit SAM.gov.

Key FM NAICS codes include: 561210 (Facilities Support Services), 531312 (Nonresidential Property Managers), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 561730 (Landscaping Services), and 561720 (Janitorial Services). Different service lines require different NAICS codes, and using the right ones is critical for set-aside eligibility.

Small FM companies compete through set-aside programs (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB), teaming with large primes as subcontractors, and pursuing smaller agency-level contracts that large firms don't prioritize. Many base operations contracts also have small business subcontracting requirements. SamSearch helps small FM firms identify set-aside opportunities, teaming partners, and subcontracting opportunities on large base operations contracts.
