SAM.gov is the federal clearinghouse, but relying on it alone means missing subcontracting roles, state and local lettings, and early forecasts. Here is every source serious hauling contractors watch, what each is for, and which ones feed the MovingDirt RFP board automatically.
The primary clearinghouse for federal prime contracts. MovingDirt pulls hauling-relevant NAICS (highway/street, heavy civil, dump & aggregate trucking, site prep) nationwide every morning and posts them to the RFP board with estimated haul rates.
Where large prime contractors post subcontracting opportunities: often the best entry point for small carriers building past performance. Trucking and aggregate-supply subcontracts show up here that never touch SAM.gov.
Agencies post RFQs exclusively for GSA Schedule holders, bypassing the open market entirely. If you hold a Schedule, work here has far less competition.
The Defense Logistics Agency's bid board: supply items, hardware, and equipment direct to DoD. Relevant when hauling contracts bundle with material supply.
What agencies plan to buy months or years before a solicitation posts. This is how you position: get on the bench before the contract is even written.
Highway lettings are the richest hauling source there is: earthwork, base, asphalt, spoil. Most state DOTs publish letting schedules on Bid Express or their own sites (ODOT, PennDOT, TxDOT…). We sweep letting schedules on rotation and post hauling-relevant projects.
A massive aggregator of state, local, and regional government RFPs. Free registration gets you into your region's stream.
Cloud e-procurement used by hundreds of municipalities, counties, and school districts to publish bids directly. Register once per agency portal and the bid notifications come to you.
Plan room where subcontractors find commercial projects and bid to multiple GCs at once: private site-work and dirt-export jobs live here.
One of the largest commercial construction lead networks: project documents and bidding tools.
The industry heavyweight for commercial construction data: early-stage planning intel long before bids drop.
Enterprise capture teams: analyst-backed federal/SLED history, recompete tracking, policy-to-contract intelligence.
Small-to-mid contractors: accessible pipelines, AI-matched opportunities across thousands of sources, and budget-friendly market intel with historical award data.
Research tools, not bid boards: use them to find incumbents, study past awards, and read agency spending trends before you chase a recompete.
