Federal contract price benchmarks
BidBenchmark turns public award records into price benchmarks for the work you bid on: the median, the range, and every award behind the number. Free to read. No sales call.
Built from USAspending and SAM.gov records. Every figure cites its source.
Published benchmark
Current award value, options excluded. Every award behind this figure links back to the government record it was read from.
Look up the range comparable work was awarded for before you commit a number, and see the awards behind it.
Save a search and get an email when new awards or open opportunities land in the categories you bid in.
Upload an RFP and get the comparable awards, likely competitors, and the price range the work has gone for.
A benchmark is only useful if you can defend it. Ours are built so you can show your work.
