For public buyers
An invoice, a PO and net-30 instead of a card.
A tenant and licence review is $670.
What will you pay for a subscription that does not come with an invoice?
With an employee’s personal card, and then you spend three months reimbursing them. A subscription can only be bought with a card: the vendor issues no invoice to a legal entity. Procurement knows how to buy chairs, not licences. The requisition went in in April; the licence was needed in March.
We sell the way you buy
An invoice to the legal entity, the PO number in the header, net-30 and a signed line-by-line statement of work. The W-9, the bank details and the price confirmation come with the quote, not two weeks after you ask.
The price list is the same as on the commercial pages: per seat per month, per hour, per project. We have no separate "public budget" price — we have a different way of papering it and a different calendar.
We put the package together so that it fits under your threshold and clears without a tender. If a tender is needed after all, we answer it in your format.

Questions
Can we buy without a tender?
Often yes. The federal micro-purchase threshold is $15,000, the simplified acquisition threshold $350,000, and grant-funded purchases with self-certification up to $50,000. States hold their own thresholds: Texas $50,000 in aggregate per year, Florida $20,000, California $50,000. We put the quote together so that it fits under your threshold.
What documents do you give procurement?
An invoice with the PO number, the W-9, the bank details, a line-by-line statement of work and a price confirmation. The document pack for a grant-funded purchase — with a price comparison and a selection record — costs $445 or $1,340 and is included free with any order above $10,000.
We are a school district. Is the price list different?
The same. The difference is not the price but the paperwork: an invoice instead of a card, net-30 instead of prepayment, your fiscal year instead of the calendar one. Nonprofit discounts do not carry over to schools and public bodies — the vendor decided that — and we check eligibility for a discounted price before the quote.
The money disappears at year end. Will we make it?
You will, if the item fits under the direct purchase threshold: a fixed $13,900 package is papered in a single day. In September 2025 the last month accounted for 22.2% of the annual volume of federal IT obligations — everyone queues at year end, which is why the package is put together in advance.
