UNSPSC 23153200: Robotics

UNSPSC 23153200 Robotics is a Class code under which state and local governments procure collaborative robot systems, robotic field equipment, and associated training and support services for educational, athletic, and operational applications. Recent solicitations show school districts, community colleges, and municipal parks departments acquiring collaborative robotic arms (Universal Robots UR5e and UR7e platforms) with integrated grippers, workstations, and software for STEM curriculum delivery and facility maintenance; robotic athletic field painters equipped with RTK-GNSS positioning for turf marking; and robotics supplies bundled into broader instructional material catalogs. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Katy ISD in Texas), community colleges (Community College of Rhode Island, Arapahoe Community College in Colorado), municipal parks departments (City of Fort Worth, Texas), and regional purchasing cooperatives serving multiple school districts and municipalities (Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 on behalf of the SAVE consortium in Arizona, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas).
