Electrical government contracts
In fiscal year 2026, federal agencies obligated $702.40M on electrical contracts so far (Defense contracts arrive about 90 days late, so the year's total is still rising). Department of Defense bought the most, followed by Department of Veterans Affairs. 37 electrical contract opportunities are open now on SAM.gov, and 207 contracts worth $2.37B with options end in the next 12 months.
Electrical construction and repair: wiring, lighting, power distribution, generators and controls at military installations, VA medical centers, ports and federal buildings.
Set-asides: at least 39% of FY2026's electrical contract dollars ($274.52M) went through contracts set aside for small businesses, most through service-disabled veteran-owned and small business set-asides. Many orders under larger contracts carry no set-aside code, so this counts only what is reported. How set-asides work →

How the government buys electrical work
- Construction contracts over $2,000 fall under the Davis-Bacon Act: workers must be paid the prevailing wages in the solicitation's wage determination, with certified weekly payrolls.
- Larger construction contracts require performance and payment bonds (the Miller Act), and many solicitations ask for a bid bond. Line up your bonding capacity before you bid.
- Much of this work is done by subcontractors to a base's facilities or construction prime. The prime contractors winning it, listed on this page, are the companies to approach.
