Frequently asked questions
How much does the federal government spend on landscaping in Georgia?
Since Oct 2024, agencies obligated $20.1M across 109 landscaping and grounds maintenance contracts performed in Georgia (NAICS 561730), an average of $184K per award. The Department of Defense is the largest buyer.
Where are landscaping bids posted in Georgia?
Federal opportunities performed in Georgia are posted on SAM.gov (filter by place of performance). State-level work is posted on Georgia Procurement Registry, 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 Georgia to bid?
For Georgia state agency contracts, yes — register as a vendor on Georgia Procurement Registry. Federal contracts performed in Georgia only require SAM.gov registration, though state small-business certifications can still help with subcontracting.
Are landscaping contracts good first government contracts?
Yes. Scopes are familiar, performance is local, and set-asides are common. The National Cemetery Administration and military bases regularly award grounds contracts to first-time federal contractors.
How is government landscaping priced?
Usually firm-fixed-price monthly or per-service-event rates against defined frequencies, with option years. Build SCA wages, equipment depreciation, and fuel into the rate — change orders are hard to get for underpriced base work.
