UNSPSC 60101103: Electronic globes

UNSPSC 60101103 Electronic globes, a Commodity code, encompasses educational geography supplies and instructional materials that state and local governments purchase primarily for classroom use in PreK-12 schools. The recent opportunities under this code show procurement of educational products and materials bundles that include globe components alongside broader categories of teaching supplies, sensory room items, therapeutic equipment, and adaptive devices. School districts, state education agencies, and state health and human services commissions drive the bulk of solicitation activity, with independent school districts appearing as repeat buyers and special-purpose consortia extending procurement reach across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Florida, Arizona, Oregon, and the District of Columbia. Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida issued an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) on October 19, 2026 for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies including geography materials, due April 10, 2026, with firm pricing and a 15 percent markup cap. Katy Independent School District in Texas posted RFP #2428KD-A on August 14, 2026 for teaching and instructional materials across multiple subject areas including supplemental items, due May 29, 2026, with contract term through October 2027 and three one-year renewal options. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83, issuing on behalf of the SAVE consortium, solicited STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits through an RFP (RFP260331) posted May 21, 2026 with June 8, 2026 response deadline, covering multiple Arizona school districts and municipalities with estimated annual usage of $1,346,000. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs for habilitation consumables and equipment for state-supported living centers, including adaptive communication devices often bundled with educational or recreational items. No strong indicator of current electronic globe-specific demand emerges; the code shows activity primarily as one component within broader teaching-materials and adaptive-equipment bundles rather than as a standalone procurement category.
