UNSPSC 60101100: Electronic learning aids

UNSPSC 60101100 Electronic learning aids is a Class code covering instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services that state and local governments procure to support K–12 and early-childhood teaching across subject areas and learner populations. Recent solicitations show school districts purchasing curriculum kits in STEM and social studies, assistive technology and communication devices for students with disabilities, play therapy materials for behavioral health, Montessori classroom supplies and materials, and specialized equipment such as robotics platforms and adaptive devices. Beyond K–12, higher-education and workforce-development entities are also active buyers, seeking turnkey training laboratories in robotics, cybersecurity, and advanced manufacturing aligned to industry certifications.

Issuing bodies under this code span a broad range: large urban school districts (Katy Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), smaller specialized child-care and early-learning organizations (Child Care Associates), state education agencies (Rhode Island Department of Education, District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and public universities (Savannah State University). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Rhode Island, Georgia, and the District of Columbia based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include Katy ISD's RFP for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services (due May 29, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB for Montessori classroom materials (due March 23, 2026), Cartwright Elementary School District's RFP for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits issued on behalf of the SAVE cooperative (due June 8, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for habilitation consumables and adaptive communication devices at Richmond State Supported Living Center (due July 17, 2026), and the District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education's RFQ for play therapy kits (due July 16, 2026). Evaluation criteria typically weight vendor experience and references, product quality and alignment with state or district standards, cost, and delivery capability; cooperative purchasing vehicles such as SAVE and PCA are common channels for aggregated demand across multiple jurisdictions.
