Episode notes

Stop waiting on the sidelines for budget certainty and start winning. This Week in Procurement is your essential weekly outlook on state, local, and education (SLED) government contracting opportunities. Hosted by Abby Souffrant, this episode breaks down the massive surge of 28,888 new opportunities nationwide between April 3rd and April 9th, 2026.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The Top 5 Opportunities of the Week: High-value contracts ranging from security system maintenance in Massachusetts to a $4.1 million amphitheater project in Texas and geotechnical engineering in Washington.
  • National Market Trends: Why facility management (30% of new contracts) and compliance services (26% of new contracts) are currently dominating the market.
  • Regional Breakdowns: Strategic insights into active markets across the East Coast, South, Midwest, and West Coast—including dominant activity in Texas and California.
  • Strategy & Advice: In our "Dear Abby" segment, we discuss how to stop "hiding behind your computer" and instead build the vendor relationships and execution plans necessary to win.

Whether you are a general contractor, a consultant, or a nonprofit leader, learn how to position your firm as the "least risky" choice for agencies buying outcomes.
