# State and Local Contract Opportunities

A State or Local contract is an agreement between the State or Local entity and the prime recipient (contractor, vendor, company) to provide goods or services for a fee. This includes all types of commitments that obligate the government to an expenditure of funds, and that, except as otherwise authorized, are in writing. Each State and/or Locality has it's own set of legal provisions and regulations that govern how they interact with industry (contractors/vendors/companies)
