UNSPSC 57040105: School kit for students

Items used at school education during emergencies such as the 'School in a carton', 40 students or 'School in a bag' kit.

UNSPSC 57040105 School kit for students (Commodity) does not map clearly to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally describes bundled educational kits for student use, but the recent opportunities tagged under or near this code reflect a far broader and more fragmented landscape: maintenance, repair, and operations supplies for municipal infrastructure; charter bus services; aquatic facility operations; technical services on-call rosters; instructional materials and software; welding equipment; food service disposables; camera equipment; and subsidized employment programs. The City of Tucson's RFP #240078 for comprehensive MRO supplies (due March 28, 2024) stands as the largest single opportunity by scope—establishing a master agreement with an estimated annual contract volume of $250 million and seeking 1,995 line items across 25 product categories—but addresses municipal maintenance, not student kits. Amarillo Independent School District's RFP 3709-26.02 for instructional materials, supplies, and software (due June 29, 2026) and Katy Independent School District's RFP #2428KD-A for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services (due May 29, 2026) are closer in scope to educational procurement, but neither describes pre-assembled student kits as such. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either data-tagging misalignment or that the code does not capture meaningful recent activity in this space.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities represent a mix of municipal governments (City of Tucson, City of Palm Bay, City of Meriden, City of Dallas, City of New London, City of Owensboro), school districts (Amarillo ISD, Katy ISD, Birdville ISD, Meriden Public Schools, New London Board of Education, Ingham ISD, Collin College), counties (Clay County Florida, Marion County Florida), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Education). School districts appear frequently as education-sector buyers, but the procurement activities span MRO supplies, instructional materials, equipment for CTE programs, food service disposables, and transportation rather than student kits specifically. Geographic activity is dispersed across Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Kentucky, Michigan, and Oregon, with no concentration visible in any single state or region.
