At SecuredIT, we believe districts should get the best products at the best prices—every time. Too often, we saw schools paying more or receiving less simply because of timing, district size, or not knowing what discounts were available.
We decided to change that. Rather than letting vendors approach districts one by one, we help districts
At SecuredIT, we believe districts should get the best products at the best prices—every time. Too often, we saw schools paying more or receiving less simply because of timing, district size, or not knowing what discounts were available.
We decided to change that. Rather than letting vendors approach districts one by one, we help districts collaborate, combining buying power to unlock better pricing, better service, and better outcomes for everyone.
Our mission is to empower every school district to access enterprise-level software, hardware, support, and services—without paying enterprise-level prices.
We proudly serve K–12 school districts and never charge them a dollar. Our services are always free to districts in all 50 states. Instead, vendors compensate us to negotiate on behalf
Our mission is to empower every school district to access enterprise-level software, hardware, support, and services—without paying enterprise-level prices.
We proudly serve K–12 school districts and never charge them a dollar. Our services are always free to districts in all 50 states. Instead, vendors compensate us to negotiate on behalf of the districts we represent.
By leveraging the collective buying power of many, we secure deeper discounts, better service commitments, and broader access to high-quality products—ensuring districts get more value without added cost.
We work on behalf of school districts to negotiate the products and services students need—at prices districts typically cannot achieve on their own. Through our statewide contracts, service agreements, and registered deals, districts gain access to the collective purchasing power of millions of students.

We work on behalf of school districts to negotiate the products and services students need—at prices districts typically cannot achieve on their own. Through our statewide contracts, service agreements, and registered deals, districts gain access to the collective purchasing power of millions of students.
While most districts negotiate using only their individual buying power, we bring the combined strength of our represented districts—and often entire states—to the table. This approach allows us to secure significantly higher discounts, stronger terms, and better overall value for the districts we serve.
