NIGP 49536: Charts, Anatomical and Life Sciences

NIGP 49536 Charts, Anatomical And Life Sciences is an Item code encompassing visual reference materials—anatomical models, life sciences diagrams, charts, and related educational aids—that state and local governments, particularly school districts, procure for classroom instruction and laboratory settings. The code captures products ranging from printed anatomical wall charts to three-dimensional skeletal and organ models used in secondary science education. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring these materials to support biology, anatomy, and general science curricula at the secondary level.
