SLED contract intelligence — state, local, and education in one layer

What you get

State and local contract discovery without a second portal stack

State and local contract discovery in SCOUT means searching SLED solicitations alongside federal posts — with source-type scoping (federal / non-federal / both) and preferred-states filters on tiers that include them. Document-level classification and attachment reading apply where documents are available, so keyword-blind county and school-district posts are less likely to slip past. Pair live SLED search with award history and company profiles when you need federal past performance context for the same capability set.

What SLED opportunity search looks like in SCOUT

SLED opportunity search uses the same intelligence layer as federal discovery: classify notices, read attachments when available, and ask for state or local work in plain language over MCP. Use find_sled_recompetes-class signals for expiring state/local and cooperative contracts when you need pipeline beyond live posts.

Who posts SLED work in this snapshot

The 2026-09-17 90-day pull (award notices excluded) is led by University of Washington (106), Utah Division of Purchasing and General Services (93), Baltimore County Public Schools (84), City of Baltimore (73), City of Glendale (62), City of Scottsdale (55). That mix — universities, state purchasing offices, school districts, and cities — is why state and local contract discovery cannot live only on SAM.gov.

Who this is for

Contractors selling facilities, staffing, human services, IT support, transportation, translation, construction, and education technology — markets where SLED is often the primary buyer. Also capture teams that already run federal pursuits and need state/local coverage without a second vendor stack.

Frequently asked questions

What is SLED contract intelligence?

SLED contract intelligence covers state, local, and education procurement — solicitations, awards context, and recompete signals outside SAM.gov. PrimeRFP SCOUT delivers SLED opportunity search in the same platform and MCP server as federal market intelligence.

How does SCOUT discover state and local contracts?

SCOUT aggregates tens of thousands of SLED sources into its opportunity layer, then lets you search and classify those solicitations alongside federal posts. You can scope searches to non-federal or preferred states on tiers that include those filters.

What is state and local contract discovery in SCOUT?

State and local contract discovery means finding SLED solicitations — state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, and related buyers — in the same search and MCP layer as federal work. SCOUT is built for teams that need state local education procurement intelligence without maintaining a second portal stack.

Can I search SLED opportunities inside Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. SCOUT's MCP server covers federal and SLED opportunity discovery in natural language. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or another MCP client to https://mcp.primerfp.com/mcp and ask for state or local opportunities in plain language.

How many SLED opportunities are open right now?

PrimeRFP SCOUT counted 2,280 open SLED solicitations posted in the last 90 days as of 2026-09-17 (award notices excluded). Top publishers in that window include University of Washington (106) and Utah Division of Purchasing and General Services (93). Totals move as portals post and close notices.

Does SCOUT replace Deltek or GovSpend for SLED?

It depends on your workflow. SCOUT is built for BD teams that want federal + SLED discovery, recompete context, and teaming in one MCP-native layer with public pricing — not a full ERP or spend-analytics suite. Teams that need deep enterprise spend analytics may still use specialized spend tools alongside SCOUT.
