UNSPSC 48140101 Business management robot is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations captures educational robotics kits, coding curriculum, and STEM instructional materials rather than business-process automation software. State and local buyers under this code include school districts, educational service cooperatives, and state education agencies procuring hands-on robotics and coding products for K-12 instruction. The Oregon Department of Education executed a sole-source procurement for Sphero BOLT+ robots and RVR+ Class Packs totaling $35,486.95 for delivery to Starbase Oregon in Klamath Falls; Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 on behalf of the SAVE consortium issued RFP 260331 on May 21, 2026 seeking STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits and Programs with proposals due June 8, 2026, and anticipated annual usage across participating districts estimated at $1,346,000; and Katy Independent School District in Texas solicited teaching and instructional materials including robotics supplies under RFP 2428KD-A with proposals due May 29, 2026.

The code shows activity concentrated in Texas and the Pacific Northwest. Most recent opportunities are posted RFPs and ITBs from school districts and regional purchasing cooperatives serving multiple jurisdictions. The Texas Education Agency issued RFP 701-26-027 on October 14, 2026 for PreK-12 Open Education Resources development and continuous improvement with responses due November 13, 2026 and a VetHUB subcontracting goal of 5 percent service-disabled veteran-owned business participation. Educational service cooperatives—Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued instructional catalog discount bids (ICAT2223 and ICAT2426) seeking vendors on catalog-discount models with estimated annual expenditures of $13.4 million and $10.4 million respectively across member school districts. Response dates in recent postings cluster between May and November 2026, with contract terms typically one to five years and opportunities frequently structured to serve multiple jurisdictions through cooperative purchasing vehicles.
