others are restricted by Municipal, County and State control over procurement.

Registry of Schools - This site maintains an enormous list
of public and private school links.

School Directory- This web site provides school information
on 108,000 K-12 schools in America.
Private K-12
Small private schools are often overlooked or ignored since
they are mostly small in terms of their buying power and dispersed geographically.
However, collectively these schools purchase billions of dollars worth
of products and you can avoid elaborate procurement laws and red tape
that is part of the public sector procurement process. Independent Private
Schools have organizations to leverage their mass purchasing power.
Here are a few examples:
