UNSPSC 60104001: Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA models

UNSPSC 60104001 Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA models, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct activity under its nominal scope; recent state and local opportunities tagged to the code instead reflect broader educational supplies procurement — Montessori materials, contraceptive education displays, fire prevention kits, sensory room products, and STEM curricula — suggesting that the code may be applied inconsistently or serves as a catch-all category for science and health education materials rather than discrete DNA model products. The issuing bodies include large urban school districts, state health departments, and county governments, with school districts emerging as the dominant buyer class across posted opportunities. The work solicited ranges from fixed-quantity supplies (Montessori classroom materials, fire prevention kits) to open-ended catalog discount agreements (sensory products, STEM materials), indicating varied purchasing structures.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Illinois, Oregon, New York, and Arizona. Hillsborough County Public Schools posted an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) on October 19, 2026, for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies with responses due April 10, 2026, under firm fixed pricing with a 15 percent markup cap; the Illinois Department of Public Health issued a competitive quote request on October 2, 2026, for educational contraceptive displays and anatomical models due October 8, 2026; and Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83, on behalf of the SAVE consortium, posted an RFP on May 21, 2026, for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits serving multiple Arizona school districts and municipalities, with survey data estimating annual usage of $1,346,000 across participating members and individual district estimates ranging from $10,000 to $350,000. The code displays no coherent concentration; rather, it appears to capture diverse science and health education materials under a single taxonomy entry.
