Land subdivision and site development for government housing and infrastructure projects. Find active federal and state land subdivision contracts — AI-scored against your profile across SAM.gov and 200+ portals.
Annual federal spend under NAICS 237210 is estimated at $1.5–2.5 billion, driven primarily by military housing, tribal infrastructure, and HUD-assisted development. Competition is moderate; about 60% of contracts are set aside for small businesses. Work is typically awarded as firm-fixed-price contracts under IDIQs or standalone projects, with demand peaking during military base realignments and disaster recovery. The Army Corps of Engineers and BLM are the largest buyers, often bundling subdivision with site prep and utilities. Contract periods range from 6 months to 5 years, with average task order values between $500K and $5M.
These agencies are the largest buyers of land subdivision services and products in the federal government. Each awards contracts under NAICS 237210 regularly — build relationships with their small business offices first.
To win, focus on past performance with federal land development projects—specifically those involving environmental mitigation and utility coordination. Most contracts are set aside for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms under FAR Part 19. The highest-leverage move: team with a civil engineering firm early to pre-position for design-build solicitations from the Army Corps. Avoid bidding on projects requiring surety bonds over $10M unless you have a strong bonding line. Register in SAM.gov and monitor FBO.gov for NAICS 237210 with 'land subdivision' in the title.
Land subdivision work is bought via LPTA for small, routine projects and best-value tradeoff for complex, multi-phase developments. Common vehicles: GSA Schedule 899 (Environmental Services) for site assessment, 8(a) STARS III for IT-adjacent work (rare), and agency-specific IDIQs (e.g., Army Corps MATOC). Evaluation emphasizes past performance, technical approach (especially erosion control and utility coordination), and price.
No single federal license applies, but state-level contractor licenses (e.g., general engineering or grading contractor) are often required. For federal work, you must have a valid SAM registration and comply with Davis-Bacon wage determinations.
Most contracts over $150K require payment and performance bonds. For large IDIQ task orders, bonding capacity of $5M–$20M is common. Agencies often accept a single bond covering the total contract value.
8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB set-asides are frequent. The Army Corps and BLM often issue 100% small business set-asides. WOSB set-asides are less common for this code.
Moderately competitive. For small business set-asides, expect 5–15 offers. Large contracts (over $10M) attract both small and large firms. Key differentiators: past performance on similar land development and environmental compliance.
Task orders under IDIQs average $500K–$3M. Standalone contracts range from $1M–$10M. Mega-projects over $25M are rare and usually involve multiple NAICS codes.
