For schools and districts

Make yourself a quote.

Your business office will not act on a web page, and you should not have to wait on an email from me to start the paperwork. Fill in the two or three items below and you will get a printed quotation to attach to a requisition, with my terms on it and a number we can both refer to. Nothing is sent to me and nothing is stored anywhere. The page writes the document in your browser.

Before you buy anything, have your IT staff test the free Basic Edition. It is the same program, built from the same code, with the advanced tabs left out. Therefore, if the Basic Edition installs and runs on your machines and in your image, the Advanced Edition will too. Any difficulty with the Java version, permissions or deployment shows up there, at no cost and before a requisition exists.

Download the Basic Edition. It is free for your whole school, on any number of devices, whatever you decide about this quotation. If your business office wants the terms first, the full license agreement is published here too.

Your school

School or district name

District, if the school belongs to one

City and state

What you need

Total enrollment

Please enter the total enrollment of the whole school. This number stands in for the size of your science and mathematics programs, and it saves both of us from counting devices.

License band

Enter your enrollment and the band is chosen for you. Change it if that is not right. Every band covers your whole school, including your students and staff at home, so there is nothing to work out about who will use it.

Who to address it to

Your name

Your title

Your email

Your requisition or reference number

If your system has already given you one.

Then print it, or choose Save as PDF in the print dialog.

Buying with a purchase order

What your business office is going to ask me for.

None of this is unusual, and none of it costs you anything. It is written down here so that you do not have to find it out one form at a time.

Documents available on request for school purchasing
If they ask for	What happens
A W-9	Ask and I will send it. Most districts need it before they can set up a new vendor at all.
A sole source letter	I write the software and there is no reseller, so if your policy requires several quotes above a certain amount, I can give you a letter saying so.
A tax exemption certificate	This one goes the other way: send me yours with the purchase order and I will keep it on file.
A signed quotation	Make one above, email it to me, and I will send it back signed.
An invoice	It follows delivery and carries your purchase order number. Terms are net 30. A check is fine, and ACH is available if your district prefers it. I send the ACH details directly, and they are never printed on an invoice.
Insurance or a vendor form	Send it to me. There is nothing being shipped and nobody coming on site, so most of it will not apply, but I will fill in what does.

I deliver when the purchase order arrives, not when the check does. A district's payment cycle is nobody's fault, and it should not be your students' problem. Send the purchase order and I will send the software within 48 hours. The invoice can follow through your system at its own pace.

Note that if your budget expires on June 30, your requisition cutoff is probably some weeks before that. Please ask your business office when their cutoff is, because a quotation arriving in June is often a quotation for the next school year.

If any of this becomes difficult, please write to me at info at srivus dot com. I am one person, and I would much rather sort out a form with you directly than have a school give up on the paperwork.
