👋 Welcome to r/SLEDGovCon - Introduce Yourself and Read First!

Hey everyone! I’m u/Famous_Tourist_, a founding moderator of r/SLEDGovCon.

This is our new home for all things related to state, local, and education government contracting. Whether you’re exploring SLED for the first time or already bidding regularly, we’re excited to have you here.

What to Post
Post anything that you think the community would find useful, actionable, or interesting. For example:

• SLED contract opportunities or RFPs you’ve found
• Tips on where to search beyond the usual portals
• Questions about vendor registration, outreach, or bidding
• Lessons learned from deals you’ve won or lost
• Tools or workflows that help you stay on top of opportunities

Community Vibe
We’re aiming for a practical, no-BS environment where people actually help each other win. Share what works, ask real questions, and keep it respectful.

How to Get Started

Post something today, even a quick question is enough to get things going.

Interested in helping out? We’re always looking for moderators, so feel free to reach out.

Also, if you’re struggling to consistently find relevant opportunities, a few folks here use tools like SamSearch to simplify the process, but feel free to share whatever works best for you.
