US State DOT Construction Bid & Lettings Aggregator

Scrapes highway and bridge construction bid-letting calendars from US state DOTs and federal solicitation databases. Returns structured contract data — project name, letting date, estimated value, DBE goals, NAICS codes, and awarded contractor info — from Florida DOT and SAM.gov in a single clean dataset.

Two sources cover the construction contracting pipeline from federal solicitations down to state-level bid openings. No API key.

US State DOT Aggregator Features

• Extracts SAM.gov federal solicitations — construction contracts, pre-solicitations, awards, and sources-sought notices for NAICS 237xxx codes (highway, pipeline, power/comms, and other heavy civil). Covers all 50 states.
• Scrapes Florida DOT upcoming bid-letting calendars — project tables organized by letting date, covering 30–60 active contracts per run with proposal IDs, counties, and work types.
• Filters by state, NAICS code, and active-only status — narrow SAM.gov results to a specific state or work category, or pull the full national picture.
• Captures engineer estimates and awarded contract data — estimated value ranges, awarded amounts, awarded contractor names, and award dates when available.
• Tracks DBE participation goals — disadvantaged business enterprise targets included where reported.
• Returns plan document URLs — direct links to bid packages and specification PDFs.
• Multi-source, single schema — SAM.gov and FDOT records normalize to the same output fields with a source_jurisdiction field to tell them apart.
• Lightweight — both sources return structured data directly.

What Can You Do With Construction Bid Data?

• General contractors — Track upcoming letting dates and bid deadlines across states before competitors see the posting.
• Subcontractors and suppliers — Find active solicitations in your service region, filtered by NAICS code, and reach prime contractors early.
• DBE/MBE firms — Identify contracts with active DBE goals for targeted outreach to primes awarded those contracts.
• Market intelligence teams — Monitor awarded contract volumes and values by state, agency, and work type to track DOT spending patterns.
• CRM and lead generation pipelines — Feed awarded contractor names and project details into prospecting workflows without manual lookups.
• Researchers and analysts — Build time-series datasets of public construction procurement activity across state and federal sources.

How It Works

1. Choose a source. Set source to samgov, fdot, or all. The default all runs SAM.gov first, then appends FDOT data in a single run.
2. SAM.gov mode runs SAM.gov's own search with your NAICS codes, optional state filter and keyword, paginating until maxItems is reached or the results are exhausted.
3. FDOT mode fetches the letting calendar page, walks the accordion sections by date, and extracts project rows from each letting table — proposal ID, county, work type, and plan document links.
4. Output normalizes both sources into the same 21-field schema. source_jurisdiction tells you where each record came from. Records missing a field return null.

🔍 FAQ

How do I scrape federal highway construction contracts?

US State DOT Construction Bid & Lettings Aggregator runs SAM.gov's own search — no registration or API key required. Set source to samgov, supply your NAICS codes, and optionally filter by state and keyword.

What data can I get from SAM.gov construction solicitations?

US State DOT Construction Bid & Lettings Aggregator returns solicitation number, project title, place of performance (state and locality), estimated value range, bid due date, NAICS code, work type, department and agency name, and a direct link to the SAM.gov listing. Awarded contracts also include contractor name, awarded amount, and award date.

How do I get Florida DOT bid-letting data?

Set source to fdot. The actor scrapes the FDOT bid-letting calendar page and extracts all project rows organized by letting date — proposal IDs, county, work type, and plan document links for upcoming bid openings.

How much does this actor cost to run?

US State DOT Construction Bid & Lettings Aggregator uses pay-per-event pricing. A typical run retrieving 100 records costs a few cents.

Why Use US State DOT Construction Bid & Lettings Aggregator?

• Two sources, one run — SAM.gov federal coverage plus Florida DOT state-level lettings combined in a single normalized dataset, no separate workflows needed.
• Zero credentials — both sources are public government data; the actor needs no API key, and no account setup to return results.
• Clean, consistent output — 21 normalized fields across both sources, with source_jurisdiction as the discriminator, so downstream pipelines don't need separate parsers.
