# SLED Contract Pages

> State, local, and education procurement — badges, dates, and state portals

**SLED** covers State, Local, and Education procurement — separate from federal SAM.gov, typically posted on state or local portals.

<Info>
  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.

## Date fields

SLED pages may show four dates — they serve different purposes:

| Field            | Typical meaning                               |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Last Updated** | Most recent change to the posting             |
| **Publish Date** | When first published on the portal            |
| **Post Date**    | Portal display date (may differ from publish) |
| **Due Date**     | Response or qualification deadline            |

Open-ended ITQs may show distant post dates — read the description for actual submission windows.
