Government contracts for plumbers in Tennessee

Plumbers contracts in Tennessee typically cover backflow-preventer testing, water-main repair, fixture replacement at federal buildings, sewer-line work at correctional facilities, and on-call plumbing IDIQs. Federal posts in this category fall under NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), and the bulk of the work flows to the Army Corps of Engineers, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and GSA. Small-business set-asides are common because most jobs sit well below the simplified acquisition threshold.

Tennessee currently has 1 open plumbers contract in our database, with 1 added in the last 30 days. Volume in smaller markets is lumpy: a single base or facility can drive a quarter of annual postings. The most active buyer is Federal Subcontract (1 open posts), but contracts also come from federal civilian agencies and state-level departments operating in Tennessee.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the plumbers work in Tennessee is posted through GO-BID (Tennessee CPO), with recurring buyers including the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Tennessee State Parks, and the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency. Central Procurement Office runs the GoDBE and Diversity Business Enterprise programs that gate access to dedicated set-aside spend. ContractRadar pulls federal postings from SAM.gov alongside state and local feeds so a plumbing contractor doesn't have to monitor each portal manually.
