What is an in-state contract?


An in-state contract is a contract to perform services or supply goods that involves Louisiana jobs, including contracts associated with serving or supplying goods to certain offshore or out-of-state locations. For instance:

  • A contract to deliver services or goods to a Louisiana location is considered an in-state contract. This includes contracts with public or private entities that are located outside of the State (e.g., contracts with global companies for their Louisiana locations, contracts with the Federal Government for a Louisiana location).
  • A contract to deliver services or goods to an out-of-state location for which services and goods have historically been provided from Louisiana (e.g., provided by Louisiana facilities near state borders) is considered an in-state contract.
  • A contract to perform services for or supply goods to an offshore Gulf of Mexico facility in an area that has historically been served from Louisiana (e.g., served from Port Fourchon) is considered an in-state contract.
