Procurement FAQ

Do you accept multi-year POs?+

Yes. Most of our district customers go with 2 or 3-year terms for budget predictability and discounted pricing. We can also bill annually within a multi-year commitment.

Do you offer Net 30 or Net 60 terms?+

Net 30 is standard for qualified institutions. Net 60 is available on request for districts with established procurement cycles.

Can we use Title I, Title III, Title IV, or ESSER funds?+

Yes to all four. Telo qualifies for Title I-A (most ELL students come from low-income families and Title I dollars routinely fund their language support), Title III (English Learner Programs), Title IV-A (Student Support and Academic Enrichment), and remaining ESSER funds. We provide a funding-source justification letter on request, mapped to whichever stream you’re using.

Are there funds specifically for AI Literacy?+

Yes. Title IV-A (the “Effective Use of Technology” block) explicitly supports digital and AI literacy curricula and is the most common path. Title II-A funds AI-related teacher professional development. Many states also have digital-learning grants that cover AI literacy programs. Telo qualifies because every session students have with the robot or web platform is hands-on AI literacy: they learn to prompt clearly, evaluate AI answers, and recognize what AI can and can’t do.

Do you have purchasing cooperative contracts? Can we piggyback?+

Yes, three paths. (1) Cooperatives: we’re an awarded TIPS (The Interlocal Purchasing System) vendor, so any of the 7,000+ TIPS member districts and schools nationwide can purchase without a separate RFP. We’re also approved through Region 19 Allied States Cooperative (839 districts), Region 7 ESC (95 districts), and Region 18 ESC (33 districts and 7 charter schools). (2) Piggyback: many states allow districts to piggyback on contracts already executed by another district. We have active contracts with 29 ISDs (Coppell, Plano, Frisco, Aldine, Lewisville, Pearland and others) that can serve as the originating contract. (3) Direct: sole-source procurement is also available with our justification letter.

What’s your sole-source justification?+

Telo AI is the sole-source provider of the TelOne Embodied AI Robot and the integrated Teacher Dashboard Suite. We provide a formal sole-source justification letter on request, ready to attach to your PO.

Is there a minimum order?+

No minimum. Districts often start with a single-classroom pilot before scaling. We work the same way for a 1-classroom order as for a 100-classroom rollout.

How fast do you ship and onboard?+

Web licenses are activated within 1 business day of PO acceptance. Embodied robots typically ship within 2 to 3 weeks. Teacher onboarding is scheduled the same week the order is placed.
