We’d love to tell you we’re above celebrating round numbers.
We are not. 🎉
GovSpend just passed 1,000,000 active government contracts. As of our October 22 snapshot, that’s 1,013,031 active contract records sitting in one place, ready to be searched, sliced, and turned into pipeline. Yes, we know the number alone isn’t the point. Yes, we wrote a whole blog post about what the data actually reveals. But sometimes you just have to stop, look at a seven-digit number, and let yourself enjoy it for a minute.
Okay. Minute’s over. Here’s what a million contracts tells you about the SLED market:
📍 State agencies hold nearly half the active index (48.7%), and Texas alone accounts for 152,179 records
⏳ 514,499 contracts hit a stated end date in the next 12 months. That’s more than half the market with a timing window opening
🤝 34,067 contracts run through named cooperatives, led by TIPS with 14,113
🔍 Incumbent footprints get very visible at this scale. Amazon Capital Services alone shows up on 2,000+ active contracts across counties, cities, and school districts
Translation: if you sell to government, there’s a good chance your next deal, your competitor’s weak spot, and your fastest path to a contract vehicle are already sitting somewhere in that million.
