# List Solicitations

> Open and historic solicitations (RFPs) issued by the lead entities in this partner's scope. Drafts are never returned. Results are ordered by id for stable cursor pagination — use `closing_before` / `closing_after` to narrow to a deadline window rather than relying on order.
`updated_at` tracks the solicitation record only. Adding a public notice or a document does not touch it, so `updated_since` will not surface an addendum on a solicitation you have already synced. Re-read the detail endpoint for those.

            Whether a supplier can still bid: the stored status is `open` and
            `close_at` is absent or in the future. Nothing closes a solicitation
            on a schedule, so `status` alone stays `open` after the deadline;
            this is the derived answer.
