Sadly, the only alternative I see is Microsoft, since they'll typically already have some deal for Office. I assume staff is too retarded/picky/non-english for stuff like LibreOffice? Is there any real third party alternative?

I recall Google got involved in schools with cheap chromebooks. And then schools had buyer's remorse when Google stopped supporting them after a few years (expecting the schools to buy new models). And then the schools went back to Microsoft. And then maybe Google backtracked a little.

Colleges use software like blackboard/canvas but I'm guessing simpleton govt would just always prefer to bundle the hardware/software.
