Federal or state and local?

Of the 2 open welding, fabrication & machining contracts in California, none are federal2 are state or local. That split matters: federal work runs through SAM.gov and needs a UEI and an active SAM registration, while state and local buyers each run their own portal with their own vendor sign-up. XL Eagle already holds both.

How to bid these without doing the paperwork

Most welding, fabrication & machining firms never bid government work because the overhead is the barrier, not the job: SAM registration and a UEI, reps and certifications, bonding on larger jobs, wage determinations, and a different submission portal for almost every buyer. That is administrative work, not trade work.

XL Eagle bids as the prime contractor. We carry the registrations, write the proposal, own the compliance and submit through whichever portal the buyer uses. You price the work and perform it as our subcontractor. There is no fee to you and no registration for you to maintain.
