SLED covers State, Local, and Education procurement — separate from federal SAM.gov, typically posted on state or local portals.
Many SLED opportunities require registration on a separate state portal (e.g., JAGGAER, Periscope, COMMBUYS) before submitting. SamSearch surfaces the opportunity; submission happens on the state’s platform.
