About Total Optim Solutions
Founded by Stacy Nichols, Total Optim Solutions is a woman-owned procurement and cost reduction consulting firm based in Texas. Launched in 2024, the firm was created to solve a simple but pressing problem: too many businesses, especially small and mid-sized ones, waste money on inefficient spending, poor vendor terms, and missed contract opportunities.
Total Optim Solutions delivers real-world support for sourcing, vendor management, cost savings, and public contract compliance. With a founder who has worked across private, public, and nonprofit sectors, the firm brings a clear-eyed, results-oriented approach to managing third-party spend and increasing vendor competitiveness in procurement.
Total Optim Bid, one of the company’s signature offerings, was launched in 2025 to close a critical gap for small businesses seeking public contracts. It is a subscription-based platform that delivers curated RFP opportunities, coaching, and proposal support for companies that don’t have the time, staff, or expertise to compete effectively on their own. By blending human expertise with AI-enabled tools, Total Optim Bid gives subscribers a competitive edge without the high price tag of full-time consultants.
With a track record of simplifying procurement and unlocking cost savings, Total Optim Solutions is becoming a trusted partner to businesses who want results, not red tape.
