UNSPSC 60103926: Biology charts or posters

UNSPSC 60103926 Biology charts or posters is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of science instructional materials and consumables than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring preserved specimens, live materials, micromedia, chemicals with safety documentation, and general science lab supplies and equipment to support K-12 instruction and laboratory work. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with activity concentrated in individual districts making as-needed purchases for instructional support across multiple school sites. The scope reflects ongoing demand for consumable science materials rather than one-time capital procurements; vendors typically establish online ordering platforms, maintain account representatives, and deliver items on demand within specified timeframes to multiple school locations within a district.

Cobb County School District in Georgia represents the most recent and substantive activity under the code, having issued IFB B26128 on May 15, 2026, to procure science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment for all 112 CCSD school sites serving 105,738 students, with responses due June 16, 2026. That solicitation carried an estimated annual expenditure of $175,000 and required vendors to submit percentage discounts across four product categories—preserved specimens, micromedia and live materials, chemicals, and general supplies and equipment—along with proof of insurance, E-Verify compliance, and willingness to extend pricing to surrounding Metro-Atlanta jurisdictions. The geographic spread of recent activity is limited; the source shows no opportunities posted outside Georgia under this specific code in the past two months.
