Register under the right codes
For construction work, the relevant NAICS codes are generally 23. Use the ones that match what you actually do:
- Federal: register on SAM.gov and add those NAICS codes to your profile.
- New Hampshire state & local: register on NH DAS Bureau of Purchase & Property — https://www.das.nh.gov/purchasing/ — and select the matching commodity/NAICS codes.
New Hampshire is rolling out a new supplier portal — check the state purchasing page for the current step.
Confirm the exact codes and current steps with the agency, and check the address ends in .gov before entering business information. Process guidance, not legal or procurement advice.
Find construction bids in New Hampshire
- Federal: filter Contract Opportunities on SAM.gov by NAICS 23 and place of performance.

Small-business set-asides
A share of New Hampshire's federal contracting is reserved for small businesses through set-aside programs (small business, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB). If your firm qualifies, these can be the most winnable construction opportunities.
Eligibility rules are specific and change. Check SBA.gov and verify your eligibility before relying on any set-aside. Educational, not a determination that you qualify.
