US Infrastructure Boom: Broadband and Civil Works as the Next Big GovCon Frontier

With federal infrastructure dollars surging into broadband expansion, bridge reconstruction, public transit upgrades, and EV charging stations, the United States is entering a pivotal era of non-defence procurement. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to funnel more than $1.2 trillion into revitalising physical and digital infrastructure, with a significant portion administered through federal, state, and municipal contracting agencies.

For suppliers and contractors, this represents an opportunity to diversify away from traditional military and defence-related projects. Broadband build-outs, for instance, are already being used to bridge the digital divide in rural communities—an area with significant federal grant support and growing urgency ahead of the 2026 elections. EV infrastructure, wastewater management, and the modernisation of roadways and transit hubs are also seeing unprecedented investment and procurement activity.
