Everything we do starts with the needs of schools and students. 

Our vendor selection process is guided by school representatives and governed by ethical purchasing standards designed to put schools first. We believe procurement decisions should create real value for schools, not add complexity to already busy teams. 

Schools shouldn't have to negotiate every contract on their own. 

BuyQ leverages the collective purchasing power of more than 4,000 schools to help members access competitively awarded contracts, stronger pricing, and trusted supplier relationships. 

Good procurement is about more than price. 

From contract activation and vendor advocacy to procurement guidance and strategic sourcing support, BuyQ helps schools make informed decisions that support their budgets, operations, and long-term goals.  

The Colorado League of Charter Schools launches its first ever "purchasing program" aimed at helping its member schools save on costs related to running their schools.

The purchasing program turned into a national effort and was taken private and spun off from the CO League of Charter Schools by co-founders and husband and wife team: Marco & Christine Rafanelli.

Now a standalone company, the name "BuyQ" is adopted and continues to capture the ethos of strategic "high IQ" purchasing!

BuyQ continues to add quality suppliers to its list of group purchasing contracts (Completebook, Grainger, etc.).

BuyQ adds Private Schools to its participant base, expanding based on the expertise and success of the program within the charter community.

BuyQ joins CoreTrust, expanding its scale and capabilities while continuing to provide the trusted procurement support schools rely on.
