Why GovNearby
SAM.gov has the contracts. We find the ones you can win.
SAM.gov is free and complete, but it is built for agencies, not for a cleaning company with one crew. GovNearby does the filtering for you.
- Only work you can reach
- Contracts are matched to your ZIP code and travel radius, so you never read about a job 900 miles away.
- Set-asides that fit you
- We check each set-aside against your certifications and flag the ones reserved for firms like yours.
- Deadlines you can meet
- Tight deadlines are flagged in amber, and saved contracts get a reminder 3 days before they are due.
- Plain-English reasons
- Every score comes with the reasons behind it, so you can decide in seconds and move on.

Frequently asked questions
How do small businesses find government contracts?
Federal agencies post open contracts on SAM.gov. GovNearby reads SAM.gov every night, keeps the contracts that match your trade and location, scores each one from 0 to 10, and emails you the best ones. You can also search SAM.gov yourself for free.
Is there a list of government contracts for bid?
Yes. SAM.gov lists every open federal contract opportunity. Our state pages show live lists of open janitorial and cleaning contracts by state, updated every night from SAM.gov public data.
How do I get government cleaning contracts?
Register your company on SAM.gov (free), know your NAICS code (561720 for janitorial services), find open solicitations near you, and send a clear price quote and capability statement before the deadline. Smaller, local, recurring cleaning jobs are the easiest to win first.
Do I need to register on SAM.gov to bid?
To be awarded most federal contracts you need an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID (UEI). Registration is free. Watch out for websites that charge to register you.
How much does GovNearby cost?
There is a free plan with a weekly digest. Paid plans start at $49 a month for a daily digest, go/no-go scores and AI bid drafts.
Is GovNearby a government website?
No. GovNearby is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with SAM.gov, GSA or any government agency. We use SAM.gov public data.
