New York City, NY, 11/04/25 — GovDash, the AI platform for government contractors, announced today the expansion of its capabilities to include SLED (State, Local, and Education) contracting, opening the door for customers to access a $2 trillion market that spans state governments, municipalities, and educational institutions.

With this launch, GovDash becomes a unified system for contractors pursuing both federal and SLED opportunities, delivering full visibility, automation, and consolidation across all levels of government contracting.

Expanding Beyond Federal

Federal contracting remains a cornerstone for many businesses, but shifting budgets and long award timelines have created demand for new growth channels. SLED contracting, covering state agencies, counties, cities, and K-12 and higher education institutions, represents a stable, fast-moving market that often favors agile, mid-sized firms.

By integrating SLED data into the GovDash ecosystem, we’re giving our customers the same level of visibility, automation, and control they expect from federal pursuits, now applied to thousands of new opportunities.

A $2 Trillion Market, Built for Action

State and local governments spend roughly $2 trillion annually, nearly three times the size of the federal prime contracting market. High-growth categories include:

• IT modernization and cybersecurity

• Infrastructure and transportation

• Education technology

• Public health and human services

• Energy efficiency and renewable infrastructure

How GovDash Simplifies SLED Contracting

The biggest challenge in SLED is fragmentation; each jurisdiction uses its own procurement portal, codes, and formats. GovDash eliminates that complexity by:

• Consolidating solicitations from state, local, education, and tribal entities into one searchable interface

• Standardizing opportunity formats and codes (NIGP/UNSPSC) for easier tracking

• Automating proposal development with built-in compliance matrices and reusable content

• Connecting government contracting teams from opportunity through award

With this release, GovDash users can browse and manage SLED opportunities directly alongside federal contracts, ensuring a seamless pursuit workflow across both markets.

Available Now: Early Access to SLED

GovDash now connects contractors to opportunities in all 50 states and six U.S. territories through its Bid Match feature.
