The Problem

The bid list is public. Most contractors never see it.

"I missed a $180k pipeline job because I found out about it three days after the bid closed. Didn't even know it existed."

SAM.gov posts thousands of bids. State DOT projects get awarded. FERC approves pipelines. Bond commissions fund public works. All of it is public — but you have to know where to look, and you've got a business to run. That's where I come in.

What You Get

Project leads in your inbox. Every Monday.

I track SAM.gov bids, state DOT projects, FERC and NRC filings, bond commission work, SEC CapEx disclosures — all the places government and industrial money shows up before the bids go public. One email a week. Free to start.

Who This Is For

Small trade shops and contractors. That's it.

If you're a small shop bidding on government work, chasing industrial projects, or just want to know where the money's flowing — this is for you. I don't do fluff. Just signals you can act on.

Who This Is NOT For

Be honest with yourself first.

This is for people who take what they do seriously and want to stay sharp. That's it.

About

Written by someone who actually works.

James, Author of Preparing for the Next Shift

30 years in construction. Oilfield, uranium mining, coal mining, house framing, concrete work, pump systems. I've run businesses and I've gone bankrupt. Four kids, hockey dad, still averaging 60+ hours a week. I'm not a tech guy or a consultant. I'm a tradesman trying to figure out where all this is headed, same as you.

I spend my off-hours reading about AI, automation, mining projects, all of it. So I started writing about what I find. The tools that actually work. What's getting funded. What changes are real and what's hype. The stuff that matters to people who actually do this work.

I'm not trying to get famous or sell you something you don't need. I'm just sharing it because if I'm researching it anyway, someone else probably needs to know too.

First email is free. Next one's up to you.
