The US government buys landscaping, cleaning, staffing, IT, construction and hundreds of other services from private businesses, and 23% of that spend is reserved for small business. In 60 minutes we show you how regular people win those contracts, subcontract the delivery, and keep the margin in the middle.
Leave knowing your exact registration steps, which set-asides you qualify for, and where today's opportunities are posted.
Leave knowing why compliant bids still lose, how to price to win, and how to bid five at a time instead of one.

Awards from inside the Contract Bros community and our own portfolio. Every figure here is documented.
Results are not typical and are not guaranteed. These are individual results from real awards. Outcomes depend on your effort, experience, industry, and market conditions. Nothing here is financial, legal, or professional advice.
The government awards the contract to you. You get it delivered by subcontractors, or yourself. You keep the margin in the middle.
The United States government is the single largest buyer on earth. Unlike a private client, it does not stop spending when the economy tanks.
Win a $50,000 landscaping contract without owning a lawnmower. Hire a local crew for $32,000. The $18,000 difference is yours for finding and managing the deal.
Small business, woman owned, veteran owned, 8(a), HUBZone. Qualify for a set-aside and you compete in a dramatically smaller pool.
No cold outreach and nobody to convince. The government publishes exactly what it needs, the quantity, the deadline, and often the budget, in public, before anyone bids.
Illustrative example, not a promise or projection of earnings. Actual contract values, subcontractor costs, and margins vary widely by industry, scope, and competition.
Find it, win it, deliver it, get paid. The four moves, with real numbers on each one so you can see exactly where the margin lives.
SAM.gov and your UEI, picking NAICS codes, checking set-asides, your one page capability statement, and the subcontracting shortcut. Free, by hand, whether you ever buy a thing from us.
A 200 page solicitation, FAR clauses, and 40 to 80 hours per proposal. Why finding contracts is easy and writing the bid is where almost everyone quits.
We put an actual solicitation on screen and walk it through our system: every requirement mapped, compliance clauses flagged, sections drafted. No slides, no edits.
We stay on and answer real questions from the chat until they run out.
Five years ago they were splitting one McDonald's breakfast between them. They lost three months to the proposal wall before they won anything at all.
Was a customer service rep at a freight company making $41,000 a year, gone by the third of every month. Heard about government contracting from his barber, went all in, and got the first three bids wrong in every way possible.
Laid off from a retail warehouse two weeks before Christmas. Landed the first award, a $38,500 grounds maintenance contract at a VA clinic, and read the email in a McDonald's parking lot.
It is free, it is live, and we stay on for Q&A until the questions run out.
