The Small Works Roster (SWR) is a listing of approved State of Washington licensed contractors that organizations can use to send small bid opportunities by contractor type, type of work, and project location. It:

• is used for projects under $350,000.
• makes it easier for contractors to compete for public works projects.
• helps reduce the cost of bidding small projects.

Join the Small Works Roster

To be on the roster, contractors must apply online.

• DES advertises the roster annually.
• Firms may apply at any time.

Once approved, DES will add contractors to the list. Organizations will then use the list to send information when bid opportunities are available.

Non-licensed contractors
