Specialty Trades Government Contracts in Wisconsin
Statewide ranked opportunities and likely upcoming recompetes for facilities contractors across Wisconsin.

Specialty Trades in Wisconsin
Wisconsin's Specialty Trades Services market is highly concentrated: Unknown alone accounts for 33% of the state's 21 active opportunities in Q2 2026, with Unknown, Marshfield, Herbster collectively representing 71% of all activity. This concentration pattern creates a two-tier market — contractors must establish presence in Unknown to access the majority of deal flow, while the remaining 3 cities offer lower-volume but less competitive opportunities.
In Wisconsin's Specialty Trades Services sector, Unknown dominates with 7 active opportunities (33% of state volume) in Q2 2026, followed by Marshfield at 4 and Herbster at 4. The 1.8× gap between first and second place signals that Unknown has structural advantages — likely driven by proximity to major federal facilities or defense installations. Contractors should track how these rankings evolve seasonally, as federal fiscal year-end (September) often reshuffles city-level activity.
Wisconsin's Specialty Trades Services procurement is controlled by a narrow agency base: Department of the Army and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service together account for 67% of all awards worth $8.4M in total obligated spending. This dual-agency dominance means contractors in Wisconsin must build relationships with both to access the majority of contract dollars. On the vendor side, the market is incumbent-heavy: the top 3 contractors — SUPERIOR FENCE & EXCAVATING, LLC, MODERN CRANE SERVICE INC, MISSION SUPPORT SERVICES, LLC — hold 70% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
