Partnering with Schools Through Simplified Procurement
Welcome to WhyMaker's BOCES Bid List Products page! Here, we make it simple for districts and educators to access our innovative STEM education products through the NYS BOCES Bid List contract.
Whether you're looking to inspire creativity or explore our range of hands-on learning tools, we've streamlined the process to ensure seamless procurement and support.

How It Works
Ordering through the BOCES Bid List is straightforward. Follow these guidelines:
- If you’re interested in purchasing one of our products, simply contact your local BOCES to submit a request.
- Your local BOCES will coordinate with WhyMaker to obtain a quote for the requested items.
All purchasing and payment processes are handled directly by the BOCES. WhyMaker does not work directly with your district for purchasing or POs.
If you have any questions or need more information about our products or the BOCES ordering process, feel free to reach out to us for assistance.

Training for BOCES/RIC Staff
WhyMaker understands that you, our BOCES/RIC partners, will deliver valued professional services to your school customers on the use of WhyMaker products in their classrooms. We will provide you with train-the-trainer training led by our Chief Education Officer, Liz Gallo, and her team. If required as part of the training, we can work together to have one of our consultants lead a two-hour PD via remote video call that your staff / school customer can shadow to gain the skills and knowledge required.
To procure training for your staff, please follow these steps:
- Email products@whymaker.com and provide the name and email address of your team members with some available dates/times for 2 hours of training.
2. Wait for WhyMaker to contact you to organize training via a remote video call.
