Government mowing contracts present " />
Government mowing contracts present a steady stream of revenue for landscaping, groundskeeping, and outdoor maintenance businesses. In 2025, public agencies across the U.S.—from school districts to federal facilities—are issuing a wide variety of mowing-related Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Invitations to Bid (ITBs). Whether you're a small business owner or an experienced contractor, understanding how to locate these opportunities and prepare competitive responses is key to winning new work.
Landscaping and mowing services are essential for cities, counties, school systems, and federal agencies that manage parks, recreational fields, rights-of-way, and more. These contracts often repeat annually, offering long-term value. They are also frequently set aside for small businesses, giving local vendors a chance to expand.
Most importantly, the contracts are clearly defined and publicly funded, making them reliable income sources. With NAICS Code 561730 (Landscaping Services) in use, it’s easy for qualified businesses to align their registrations and certifications with relevant solicitations.
