School Districts Are Required to Spend This Money — But 90% of Vendors Never See a Dime. Here's Why.

Every year, school districts across the United States are legally required to spend their allocated budgets on essential services — everything from HVAC maintenance and janitorial services to IT support, plumbing, transportation, and more.

Here’s the surprising part: if districts don’t spend this money, they lose it. That means millions of dollars are flowing into local contracts every single year — whether your business benefits or not.

The procurement process is designed to be public, fair, and open, but the truth is that most vendors don’t know how to access it. In fact, research shows that only about 10% of vendors ever even see these opportunities — and even fewer win them.

It’s not a question of skill or capability. It’s almost always a question of strategy.

After more than a decade in the bidding process, I’ve seen the same mistakes over and over again. Here are the top three reasons businesses fail to secure these contracts:

• They don’t know where to look
  Most vendors rely on word-of-mouth or chance encounters instead of using free government procurement portals that post school district contracts in real time.

• They don’t understand the rules
  Government bids are nothing like regular private contracts. The language, forms, and submission rules are precise — and one missed requirement can lead to automatic rejection.

• They don’t submit correctly
  Even highly qualified vendors lose out because of small technical mistakes. A missing form, an unsigned page, or an incorrect date can get your bid thrown out instantly.

Contrary to popular belief, winning vendors aren’t always the cheapest. The vendors who consistently secure contracts are the ones who:

• Follow every instruction to the letter

• Submit clean, complete, and compliant bid packages

• Present themselves as procurement-friendly partners

That’s exactly why I created Procurement Hacks — to show small business owners exactly how to find, understand, and win government contracts without wasting months figuring it out on their own.

In my training, I walk you step-by-step through:

• Finding active school district contracts in minutes

• Reading RFPs so you understand what they’re really asking for

• Avoiding the #1 mistake that disqualifies most vendors instantly

• Submitting bids with confidence and speed

This isn’t theory — it’s the exact system I’ve used to win contracts year after year, even with zero prior experience and despite challenges like memory issues and dyslexia.

If you want to start winning school contracts consistently, I’ve created a free 30-minute Procurement Hacks Masterclass that shows you the exact process I use.
