Free for federal services and construction contractors.
Every interactive tool, live dataset, and long-form report FedRange publishes — in one place. No registration, no payment, no email gate. Built for the small federal services and construction contractors who can't afford five-figure subscriptions to Bloomberg Government or GovWin.
Four free tools. No signup.
Bid Leak Check
Pick your NAICS + state and see the gap between what small primes bid and what winners actually get paid — instantly, from real federal award data.
Most small primes in federal services bid 30–40% below the median winning award and never realize it. This reveals your gap in one screen — no signup.
AbilityOne facility check
Pre-screen a federal facility for AbilityOne / JWOD / NIB sole-source contracts before you spend a week writing a proposal.
Federal janitorial bidders lose more billable hours to AbilityOne overlap than any other pre-bid mistake. This catches it in 30 seconds.
Janitorial staffing calculator
Size the crew, hours, and labor cost for a federal janitorial bid. SCA wage floor by state baked in.
Most small primes guess at crew size or copy a competitor's. This grounds the staffing line on industry productivity benchmarks and the SCA wage determination for your state.
Bid-readiness quiz
Answer a few questions and get a personalized readiness score — what you've got in place to win federal bids, and the gaps to fix first.
Most contractors can't name what's actually blocking their first win. This surfaces it in 30 seconds and gives you the order to fix things in.
What contracts actually pay, by trade.
Janitorial pricing slice
Live percentile band (P10–P90) for federal janitorial (561720) contracts, the top named comparables, and the $/sq ft/year distribution.
The band exists in USASpending — pulling it by hand is a six-hour job. This is the slice, rendered live and filterable by state.
Grounds pricing slice
The same live percentile band and named comparables for federal grounds & landscaping (561730) contracts.
Grounds pricing is even thinner online than janitorial. This is the real award distribution — free.
Security pricing slice
Live percentile band and named comparables for federal security-guard (561612) contracts.
Guard contracts re-buy on a clock and the pricing swings wide. See exactly where winners land.
Market intelligence brief
A one-page read for your NAICS: the pricing band, the top buying agencies, the biggest recent winners, and the recompete pipeline.
It's the one-screen market read large primes pay aggregators five figures for — built from public data, free.
See a full analysis, plus reports & guides.
A real bid, fully analyzed
Walk through a complete FedRange analysis on a real federal contract — the winning price range, the SCA wage floor, and a drafted proposal.
This is exactly what you get on your own bids inside the tool. See the output before you ever apply.
State of Federal Janitorial Contracting
Quarterly market report on federal janitorial: award volume, set-aside distribution, recompete pipeline, AbilityOne footprint, and per-sq-ft pricing benchmarks.

How small primes price federal bids
Long-form guide to federal pricing realism: percentile reasoning, SCA wage anchoring, common bid-killing mistakes, FAR §15.305 fundamentals.
If you've never won a federal bid before, this is the orientation. If you've won one, it's the audit checklist for the next.

Where to start if you have a live bid.
- 01
Check AbilityOne first.
If the facility is on the AbilityOne Procurement List, the contract is sole-source to an AbilityOne nonprofit. You can't win it. Catch this in 30 seconds, not 30 days.

Anchor your number on the slice.
The pricing band tells you what comparable contracts actually paid. Median, P25, P75, $/sq ft/year. State filter, sole-source stripped.
Open NAICS 561720 slice → - 03
Size the crew with the calculator.
Run the SAM productivity model and the SCA wage floor for your state. Compare the labor line against the price band. If it's red, you're underbidding.
