Open RFPs in Arkansas (21 live)

21 open federal opportunities name Arkansas as the place of performance, plus 3,465 nationwide opportunities open to Arkansas businesses. Counted live from SAM.gov, updated June 10, 2026.

Arkansas runs a quieter federal market than its neighbors, which is precisely why the opportunities it does post see fewer bidders. Little Rock Air Force Base, home to a large C-130 fleet, buys base operations, maintenance, and construction support. Pine Bluff Arsenal handles specialized chemical and industrial work, the Army Corps of Engineers Little Rock District manages river navigation and flood-control projects along the Arkansas River system, and VA facilities in Little Rock and Fayetteville issue steady healthcare and facilities solicitations. Agriculture-adjacent federal buying, USDA service centers and Forest Service work in the Ouachita and Ozark National Forests, rounds out the picture.

For state business, Arkansas moved its purchasing to ARBuy, the eProcurement platform run by the Office of State Procurement, and vendors register there separately from SAM.gov. SAM.gov remains the single source for the federal side: every Corps, Air Force, and VA opportunity in Arkansas appears there, and that is what RFPhound scans daily to produce the live counts and fresh listings below, together with the nationwide opportunities Arkansas firms are equally eligible to win.

Arkansas questions

Asked by Arkansas vendors.

How many RFPs are open in Arkansas right now?

As of June 10, 2026, RFPhound counts 21 open federal contract opportunities naming Arkansas as the place of performance, plus 3,465 nationwide opportunities with no single state named that Arkansas businesses can compete for. These counts regenerate every morning from SAM.gov.

What federal work is actually available in Arkansas?

Little Rock Air Force Base (base operations and C-130 support), Pine Bluff Arsenal, the Army Corps of Engineers Little Rock District (river and flood-control work), VA medical centers, and Forest Service projects in the Ouachita and Ozark National Forests are the recurring sources.

Where does the State of Arkansas post its RFPs?

On ARBuy, the eProcurement system operated by the Office of State Procurement. It is a separate registration and a separate pipeline from SAM.gov, which carries only the federal opportunities shown here.

Is a low-competition state like Arkansas worth watching?

Often yes. Fewer registered bidders chase Arkansas place-of-performance work than in coastal markets, and many solicitations are set aside for small businesses. Pairing the Arkansas feed with the nationwide pool gives a fuller pipeline than either alone.
