FedPrimer

FedPrimer is built for small trade contractors — HVAC, roofing, flooring, fencing, welding, and similar trades — who want to win federal government contracts but don't know where to start.

Download, set up your trade and zip code, and start finding real federal opportunities in minutes. No subscription required to get started.

FIND REAL BIDS NEAR YOU Browse live federal bid opportunities matched to your specific trade and location. Every listing shows the agency, project value, deadline, and links directly to the solicitation. Filter to see only bids within driving range — no listings 1,000 miles away wasting your time.

SCORE ANY BID IN 60 SECONDS The built-in Scorecard asks four quick yes/no questions — trade match, geography fit, timeline, and crew size — then gives you a clear go or no-go recommendation before you spend a single hour on paperwork.

SAM REGISTRATION STEP BY STEP SAM.gov registration stops most contractors before they ever submit a bid. FedPrimer breaks it into seven plain-English steps with tips at each stage so you always know exactly what to do next. Track your progress and pick up right where you left off.

AI BID COACH Get instant answers about any bid — bonding requirements, which standard government forms to fill out, scope clarifications, and next steps. The Coach knows your trade, location, and SAM status so every answer is relevant to your situation.

BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING Made by the team at GC Experts, which has helped hundreds of small trade businesses navigate federal contracting. We know where contractors get stuck and built FedPrimer to get you past those exact points — from finding your first bid to submitting it.
