Frequently asked questions
Where are facilities maintenance bids posted in North Carolina?
Federal opportunities performed in North Carolina are posted on SAM.gov (filter by place of performance). State-level work is posted on NC eProcurement (eVP), and counties, cities, and school districts run their own portals — register with the largest ones in your service area.
Do I need to register with the state of North Carolina to bid?
For North Carolina state agency contracts, yes — register as a vendor on NC eProcurement (eVP). Federal contracts performed in North Carolina only require SAM.gov registration, though state small-business certifications can still help with subcontracting.
What's the difference between O&M and BOS contracts?
Operations & Maintenance covers building systems for one or a few facilities. Base Operations Support bundles many functions (maintenance, grounds, custodial, utilities) across an installation — larger, more complex, and usually requiring substantial past performance or teaming.
How is facilities maintenance work priced?
Typically a firm-fixed monthly price for preventive maintenance plus pre-priced labor rates and parts terms for repairs above a threshold. Underpricing the PM baseline is the most common new-contractor mistake.
