Innovations & Options bids, RFPs and contracts

Start by reviewing Innovations & Options's procurement guidelines and vendor registration. As a school in CO, they maintain an approved vendor list. Getting in early — before opportunities go to formal bid — gives you a significant edge.

Small purchases under CO's simplified acquisition threshold can be awarded directly — no formal bidding required. The key is timing: reach the right department head while they're still scoping the project, not after the RFP is already live. Monitoring what agencies are discussing and spending on helps you start conversations before the competition.

Innovations & Options publishes formal RFPs on its official website and CO's state procurement portal. Aggregating all sources into one place ensures you never miss an opportunity.

At Innovations & Options, purchasing decisions are overseen by the superintendent's office and school board, with department heads like the Director of Facilities, CTO, and Business Administrator. Knowing who controls budget and who influences vendor selection is the difference between a warm introduction and a cold call.
