I'm considering attacking a business problem for construction vendors to U.S. government agencies.<p>Primary vendors are the companies that deal directly with a government agency, and delegate work to sub-contractors (a sub contractor would be an electrical contractor, etc).<p>I'm able to get a list of all construction companies of a certain revenue, and within a few different construction segments, but "government contractor" is not a criteria I've found support for.<p>Any ideas?
Federal Construction contracts are let in many forms ranging from traditional design-bid-build to construction management with fee to construction manager at risk to design-build.<p>Keep in mind that construction licensing laws are local and state laws and thus Federal construction projects are exempt, so scanning through license records will not provide a complete list.<p>As a practical matter, many Federal projects are specialized, and the contractors who perform the work don't take on other types of projects, so the companies are not well known.<p>Top it all off with some projects being handled without bid, or added as change orders to existing projects or simply classified and never even published.<p>My recommendation would be to find a domain expert, I only know what I know because I've been with firms that don't pursue that sort of work architecturally based on the reasons I mentioned. Though I did once interview with URS Griner for a position that was focused on DoD work. We were not a good fit.<p>Anyway, good luck.
My company runs a large dataset that includes construction companies and government contractors. Contact me via my profile email if you're interested in talking more about this.
