What agencies buy
Federal agencies buy renovations, repairs, new buildings and design-build projects all year, and many of these contracts are set aside so only small businesses can bid. Most are lost on paperwork, not on price: a missed amendment, a wrong form or labor priced below the wage rules.
What we prepare for construction companies
- The forms: usually the SF-1442, plus amendments (SF-30) and representations.
- The pricing: a cost worksheet with Davis-Bacon labor rates, schedule and bonding checklist, following the Davis-Bacon.
- The compliance check: every requirement, attachment and deadline, ticked off.
- The win analysis: what similar contracts at that agency sold for, and who won them.
You set the price, sign and submit. Your first bid: pay only if you submit it.

Questions
Can someone write my construction bid for me?
Yes. Seal the Bid prepares the complete federal bid package for construction companies: the SF-1442, a cost worksheet with Davis-Bacon labor rates, schedule and bonding checklist and a compliance check. You set the price, sign and submit.
How much does construction bid help cost?
A flat fee: $495 for a Quick Quote, $950 for a Full Bid, from $2,950 for a large proposal. Never a percentage of the contract. You pay for your first bid only if you submit it.
Which wage rules apply to federal construction contracts?
Usually the Davis-Bacon. The solicitation attaches the wage determination, and we price labor from it so you don't underbid.
