The State of Construction Procurement in USA
US construction procurement runs on the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) for federal jobs, with state-level supplements for DOT, GSA, and major agency work; SAM.gov is the single registry for federal opportunities. Solicitations are commonly Design-Bid-Build, CMAR, or Design-Build, with evaluation criteria that weight technical approach, key personnel, past performance, and price under FAR Part 15. Lucius performs forensic audits of US construction solicitations: we extract Section L proposal instructions, Section M evaluation criteria, and Section H special contract requirements (Buy American, Davis-Bacon, EEO compliance), surface liquidated-damages clauses and warranty exposure, and build compliance matrices that map your firm's NAICS-aligned past performance to the agency's scoring rubric — without the generic filler.
Bidders into USA construction contracts compete under SAM.gov, FAR/DFARS, and state e-procurement portals. Sector-specific compliance bars include CDM 2015, JCT/NEC4 form selection, retention bonds, social value and net-zero commitments — Lucius AI maps each one to your response with a page-cited audit trail, so legal review reads as fast as engineering review.
