Ways to Work With Us
Some clients simply email us and we start. Others buy through a purchasing cooperative or run a formal bid. Studiously is an awarded vendor on five cooperatives, an approved vendor with CTPA, a certified woman-owned small business, and a registered vendor in 29 states — so whichever way your organization works, there is a clean path in.
No Procurement Process? Just Talk to Us.
Most nonprofits, businesses, and smaller organizations do not need a bid, a cooperative, or a vendor portal. You tell us what you are trying to solve, we scope it, and we send a simple agreement.
No RFP to write. No committee to convene. Most engagements start within two weeks of a first conversation.

Three Routes for Districts and Agencies
Public districts and agencies usually have purchasing rules to follow. Most hire us through a cooperative, which skips the bid process entirely because the contract has already been competitively awarded.
Cooperative Contract
We hold contracts with six purchasing cooperatives, including TIPS contract 240804 for Academic & Educational Consulting Services, valid through October 2030.
- No separate RFP required — TIPS has already competitively bid the contract
- Available to 5,000+ TIPS member agencies, plus five more co-op networks
- Purchase directly against the contract number
Direct or Set-Aside Purchase
We are a certified HUB/WBE and SBE woman-owned small business in North Carolina.
- Engagements under your bid threshold can be awarded directly
- Counts toward diversity and equity spend targets
- Qualifies for state and federal small-business set-asides
Competitive Solicitation
We respond to RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs across K–12, higher education, nonprofit, and government.
- Registered and current on the major procurement portals
- We attend pre-bid conferences and answer RFIs
- Capability statement and past performance available on request
