UNSPSC 60104002: Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA experiment kits

UNSPSC 60104002 Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA experiment kits, a Commodity code, nominally designates laboratory and educational materials for genetic science instruction; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that scope. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code include Montessori classroom supplies (geography, grammar, and mathematics manipulatives), educational contraceptive displays and anatomical models, fire prevention week resource kits, sensory and therapeutic classroom products, and STEM and career readiness program materials. While some of these items may include educational content related to life science, none are DNA experiment kits or genetic science materials. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 in Arizona (via the SAVE consortium), and implied participation by multiple Arizona school districts and municipalities—alongside state health and fire-safety departments in Illinois and Oregon, and Rockland County. The code appears to function as a catch-all taxonomy assignment for miscellaneous educational and classroom supplies rather than a precise category for genetic science instruction.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Arizona, and New York, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' Invitation to Quote for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies with response due April 10, 2026; the Illinois Department of Public Health's request for quotes on educational contraceptive displays and materials with response due October 8, 2026; and Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83's RFP on behalf of the SAVE consortium for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits and Programs for multiple Arizona school districts and municipalities, with proposals due June 8, 2026, and survey-based estimated annual usage of $1,346,000 across participating districts. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for vendors specializing in DNA experiment kits or genetic science educational materials; pursuit is not supported by current procurement signals under this taxonomy assignment.
