Government Contracts in Virginia

You can find government contracts in Virginia in three places: the state procurement system for Virginia state-agency bids, individual county and city portals for local RFPs, and SAM.gov for federal opportunities performed in Virginia. The catch: those sources are scattered across dozens of separate websites. GovSentry monitors all of them — plus 100+ state and local procurement portals nationwide — and surfaces the Virginia contracts matched to your NAICS codes, with alerts the moment one posts.

Where to Find Government Contracts in Virginia

For Virginia state and local contracts, start with eVA, the Commonwealth's mandatory eProcurement portal, where you register as a vendor and browse/respond to public solicitations; the Department of General Services Division of Purchases and Supply oversees statewide procurement, and the Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (SBSD) runs the SWaM certification for small, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses. For federal contracts performed in Virginia, use SAM.gov for registration and contract opportunities, plus USAspending.gov to research awards and the SBA for small-business certifications.
