UNSPSC 60104002: Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA experiment kits

UNSPSC 60104002 Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA experiment kits, a Commodity code, describes educational science kits and materials that state and local governments buy to support STEM curricula and hands-on learning in K–12 settings. Recent solicitation activity shows that school districts are procuring these items as part of broader STEM and science-education supply agreements, often bundled with other classroom materials, manipulatives, and curriculum resources. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida has posted multiple solicitations—an Invitation to Bid for Montessori classroom materials in February 2026 and an Invitation to Quote for Montessori supplies in April 2026—that reflect district-level purchasing of science and educational materials through catalog-based and unit-pricing mechanisms. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 in Arizona, acting on behalf of the SAVE cooperative purchasing consortium, issued a Request for Proposal in May 2026 for comprehensive STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials to serve multiple school districts, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions across Arizona. The code reflects purchasing primarily by school districts and collaborative procurement entities serving educational institutions.

Geographic activity clusters in Arizona and Florida, where recent RFP and ITB notices have been posted. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83's May 2026 RFP (RFP260331, due June 8, 2026) for STEM kits and materials serves a multistate consortium and anticipated $1,346,000 in annual usage across participating districts, with individual district estimates ranging from $10,000 to $350,000. Hillsborough County Public Schools' February 2026 ITB (26067ITBEST, due March 23, 2026) for Montessori classroom materials via catalog discount pricing and its April 2026 ITQ (26126ITQEST, due April 10, 2026) for 310 line items of Montessori supplies demonstrate district-level demand for science and educational materials through fixed-price and discount-off-catalog structures. All three solicitations require firm pricing, FOB destination delivery, and multi-year contract terms with automatic renewal options, indicating sustained demand for inventory management and reliable supplier relationships in this commodity space.
