These are the agencies with construction & renovation work open in Washington, D.C. right now, by number of live solicitations.
Of the 1 open construction & renovation contract in Washington, D.C., 1 is federal. 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.

Closed in the last 90 days. Useful for pricing and for seeing which buyers order this work again.
Most construction & renovation 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.
1 live construction & renovation opportunity in Washington, D.C. as of October 31, 2026. The list is rebuilt daily.
For the federal solicitations, yes — a UEI and an active SAM.gov registration. State and local buyers use their own portals instead. Working through XL Eagle as the prime, you need neither: we hold the registrations and submit the bid.
Currently Smithsonian Institution. The mix changes as solicitations open and close.
Nothing up front. XL Eagle bids as the prime contractor and the businesses that perform the work are paid as subcontractors on the awarded contract.
