The Contract Vehicle Reality Check.

Every published award on seven cooperative purchasing vehicles, and the reseller networks underneath them. Type any vendor. See their actual position. A contract vehicle makes you buyable. It does not make you bought.

Data harvested 2026-07-23 to 2026-07-24 from the vehicles' published directories. Every row links to its source.

Counts as of 2026-07-24. GSA is not listed because schools and local governments may only reach GSA schedules for IT and security products under the Cooperative Purchasing Program; curriculum cannot be bought through GSA at all. The reseller layer adds Carahsoft's published rider lists: 2,239 vendors on its NASPO cloud contract, 1,693 on OMNIA, 592 on TIPS.

Method & Honest Limits

Where this comes from.

Every row is harvested from the vehicles' own published directories: the TIPS all-contracts listing, Sourcewell's awarded-contract directory, OMNIA Partners' supplier directory, the Texas DIR active-contracts dataset on data.texas.gov (first-party, including the prime-to-reseller authorizations), Choice Partners' public vendor directory, NASPO ValuePoint portfolio award lists, and Carahsoft's own contract-vehicle vendor pages. Nothing here is estimated. One precision worth stating, because it is the exception that proves the rule: the core basal publishers do appear on exactly one of the seven co-ops, BuyBoard, and only on a single contract, 748-24, which BuyBoard itself titles "Instructional Materials (Non-Adopted)." Savvas, Curriculum Associates, HMH, Pearson, Scholastic, and Amplify all hold that one award. Search "Savvas" and you will see it, filed under Non-Adopted, which is the entire point: the co-op is telling you these materials are purchasable, not adopted. Great Minds appears nowhere on any of the seven. On the other six vehicles, core curriculum holds zero.

Limits, stated plainly: this is a snapshot as of the harvest date above. Vehicles re-bid categories and distributors update rider lists continuously, so always confirm against the linked source before you act on a row. Choice Partners does not publish expiration dates publicly. 1GPA, AEPA, PEPPM, and HGACBuy are not yet covered. A vendor's absence here means they hold no award on the covered vehicles, not that they cannot sell to schools; classroom content is mostly bought through state adoption and district RFPs, which is the entire point.

Read the companion essay: Buyable Is Not Bought, on why contract vehicle access is the second-hardest problem in EdTech go-to-market, and why the hardest one is demand.

Access is the easy half. Demand is the hard half.

Vertical Intelligence maps the side no vehicle answers: which districts have the money and from which fund, where the incumbent is weak, when the adoption window opens. Ask it in plain English.

Where these figures come from

Vendor and contract counts on this page come from the cooperative and state contract vehicles named in the tables themselves: TIPS (Region 8 ESC, Texas), the Texas Department of Information Resources, and the published rider lists of the distributors carrying each vehicle. Counts are of awards and contract records as published by each vehicle, not of active spending.

An award is permission to sell, not a sale. A vendor appearing on a vehicle has not necessarily sold anything through it, which is the point this page makes. Every figure here is covered by our standing correction offer.
