QUALIFIED BID — GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Connect: https://qualifiedbid.qualifiedcapacity.com/#connect

STARTING CONTEXT
Using Qualified Bid, research federal commercial/institutional building work for [BUSINESS / CAPABILITIES], [SERVICE ZIPs] and [RADIUS]. Use FY2020–FY2026 through 30 Sep 2026, showing FY2025/FY2026 separately. Keep reported-code baselines and scope anomalies explicit. Research does not change our profile or record a decision.

01 Who buys near me?

Find named facilities, project descriptions and buying offices behind building awards in my ZIPs. Show period net obligations, distinct awards with activity and actions for seven years and each recent year. Verify facility addresses, multi-site scope, classification anomalies and current/potential performance ends. Deduplicate my combined service area; do not add ZIP counts. Give award IDs, followable links and next research actions.

02 What size work could I pursue?

Show new-award counts, medians and size bands below $0.25M, $0.25M to below $1M, and at least $1M for FY2025/FY2026. Define new as first reported action. Reconstruct full-history funded/exercised/potential values through cutoff and retain size exclusions in the audit. Show relevant funded building examples and actual periods. Separate award count shares from spending shares. Explain direct contracts versus task orders and required vehicle access.

03 What may be coming next?

Find published official building/renovation forecasts, existing contract-end leads and currently open bids as three separate lists. Use Qualified Bid catalog coverage where available; verify forecasts at the official agency source. Give project, address/region, estimated value band, solicitation/award timing, update date, set-aside and vehicle strategy. Flag elapsed estimates, conflicting fields, missing data and Phase II eligibility. Planning is not an open bid or guaranteed recompete. Give a monitoring or preparation action.

04 Where is buying concentrated?

Show top ten states, cities and ZIPs together with seven-year and recent dollars/counts, eligible full-award size ranges and concentration. Read descriptions behind large awards: a barrier, bridge or distant facility coded to this ZIP does not establish broad local building demand. Keep anomalies in the reported baseline; label any cleaned sensitivity separately. Distinguish funding from revenues or annual prices.

05 Which opportunities match my company?

Find current building/renovation notices matching [CAPABILITIES / GEOGRAPHY]. Show type, buyer, scope, set-aside, deadlines/time zones, amendments and official notice link. Use a confirmed company profile for recorded Qualified Bid recommendations, separating recommendation status from document coverage. Keep sources sought, forecasts, historical awards and open bids distinct. Do not invent a recommendation or record our choice.

06 What must each trade price?

For [NOTICE], reconcile plans, revised scope, supplemental specifications and all amendments. Create trade-by-trade takeoff and inclusion/exclusion checklists for labor/materials, utilities, occupied-site coordination, submittals, lead times, security, inspection and schedule. Cite pages and identify missing referenced attachments, unresolved options or conflicts. State what we must obtain or ask before pricing; do not guess quantities.

07 What must our quote prove?

Extract eligibility, technical approach, similar-project narratives and past-performance evaluation separately. Preserve page limits, project recency measured from the original issue date, permitted joint-venture/subcontractor scope, prime in-house full-time on-site key personnel and self-performed management, similar magnitude and requested project data, mandatory volumes and amendment acknowledgments. Compare neutral-history wording with mandatory narratives; flag a contracting-officer clarification. Map each requirement to our own evidence, missing proof and owner.

08 What cash and payment protection do we need?

Extract the actual contract price breakdown, prevailing wage/fringe requirements, insurance, bid guarantee, payment/performance protections, percentages, deadlines and permitted alternatives. Reconcile form/clauses before concluding requirements. Read inspection, acceptance, invoice portal and payment terms; do not assume a generic threshold or Net 30. Use our supplier terms, capital, bond/letter-of-credit fees and mobilization inputs; leave unknowns blank.

09 What is the next decision?

Separate verified source facts, any recorded Qualified Bid recommendation for our confirmed company, and our pursue/team/watch/pass decision. List unresolved plans, eligibility, experience, trade quotes, schedule, cash, contract access and deadline issues with owners and next actions. A partner lead is not a committed partner or an automatic eligibility cure. Do not change profiles or record decisions without confirmation.
