Mowing and snow contracts up for bid

Open this week

For 2 Nov 2026 to 8 Nov 2026, the Montgomery feed (county contracts plus federal sites in the Washington metro) has no open grounds, tree or snow bids. That's normal. Montgomery County issues only a few grounds, snow or tree bids a year, so most weeks nothing new opens.

When a county bid opens, it's listed on the county's formal bids page or its informal one; a formal bid's documents are on BidNet Direct. Federal bids are posted on SAM.gov.

End dates on the record in the coming year

13 Montgomery County grounds and snow contracts reach their listed end date by 31 Oct 2027. Here is each one, soonest first; the feed looks ahead to 8 Nov 2027.

What an end date does and doesn't mean

• It's the date on the county's contract record. The county also lists a date the contract "can be extended" to. When the two match, we print "no further extension listed".
• It isn't a rebid date. The county can extend, bridge or cancel a contract, and a date that has passed can just mean late paperwork.
• A contract drops off the county's list once its end date passes, so the list is most useful read ahead of time.
• Only bids let as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) get a tab with every bidder's total. An RFP gets none.

How to read a bid tab

A tab lists each bidder's total for each group or area, as the county typed it. Totals are over the county's estimated quantities, so they aren't yearly pay. The tab doesn't name who got the work; the contracts list does.

On 7 of 11 Montgomery County grounds and snow contracts, the firm holding it was not the lowest bidder. The bid tab doesn't say why. Group splits and award rules decide who gets what.

Now and then a total is clearly off, likely a units mistake. We print it as the county did and mark it "as tabulated; flagged outlier".

Federal grounds and snow work

Federal grounds, tree and snow contracts at sites in the Washington metro in the same feed: 13 open to bid: 2 open, 11 small-business set-asides. Each set-aside carries a line that says who could bid. Not open to bid: 21 (14 sole source, 6 orders under existing contracts, 1 AbilityOne): we list those apart and never count them or call them openings. A federal end date is usually just the current option period.

Outside the Washington metro we show federal sites only, and say so. Chicago and Cook County are on the waitlist.

Where to look for mowing and snow bids

Where grounds and snow bids show up, and what each place tells you

Where to look	Price	Open bids	Last bids, holder, end date
County's own pages	$0	Yes, county government only	Yes, in two places that don't link
eMMA (Maryland)	$0 free registration	Yes: state, local and school bids	Not that we found (not verified)
SAM.gov	$0	Federal only	Award notices name the awardee and amount
BidNet Direct	Free to $1,999/yr second-hand	Yes, and hosts the county's formal bids	Not in the plan descriptions we read
DemandStar	Free to $2,699/yr vendor's own page	Yes, from its member agencies	Not checked
MaxContrax	$9.99/mo second-hand	Lawn and landscaping bids	Not in the comparison we read
TurfBids	$29/mo second-hand	Landscaping bids	Not in the comparison we read
rebiddate	$249/month per metro 14-day free trial, no card	Grounds, tree and snow, in one metro	Yes, joined and linked to the record

Where rebiddate falls short

• One metro today. In Montgomery County, MD we read the county government's records only. Not Montgomery County Public Schools, Montgomery Parks (M-NCPPC), WSSC, Rockville or Gaithersburg: they buy on their own. Outside the Washington metro you get federal sites only, labelled as such.
• No tab, no bid totals. One of the 13 county contracts on this week's list has no bid tab we can join (a contract let through an RFP gets none): contract 1036842, held by Ruppert Landscape, LLC. There we show the holder and the end date only.
• No bid documents, no bid submission. Those stay on the county's pages and on BidNet Direct, where Montgomery County hosts its formal bids.
• Thin weeks are normal. This week the Montgomery feed has no open grounds, tree or snow bids. Most weeks, the end-date list is the news.
• We haven't tried every tool named here. Where a cell says "not checked", we mean it.
