UNSPSC 60104005: Bacteria teaching kits

UNSPSC 60104005 Bacteria teaching kits (Commodity) covers educational supplies and classroom materials, though recent state and local activity under this code shows a broader pattern of educational kits, displays, and teaching resources spanning science instruction, health education, fire prevention, and special education. School districts, state health departments, and county-level education authorities issue the bulk of solicitations, with school districts the dominant buyer. Hillsborough County Public Schools, Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (through the SAVE cooperative purchasing consortium), and Rockland County each appear in recent activity. The scope of work extends to comprehensive curriculum materials including manipulatives, nomenclature cards, and teacher-support resources; sensory and therapeutic educational products supplied through manufacturer catalog pricing; STEM and career-readiness kits offered on discount-pricing schedules; contraceptive education displays with 3-dimensional anatomical models and multilingual posters; and fire prevention educational boxes. Most procurements establish ongoing supply relationships rather than one-time purchases, with contract terms spanning one to five years and automatic renewal based on performance and appropriations.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, Arizona, and Illinois. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an ITQ (response due April 10, 2026) for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies including mathematics manipulatives, science research materials, and language resources, with fixed pricing firm for one year and automatic renewal for up to four additional one-year periods. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83, on behalf of SAVE, issued an RFP (response due June 8, 2026) for STEM and college and career readiness kits and materials available through multiple Arizona school districts, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions, with survey data indicating estimated annual consortium usage of $1,346,000. The Illinois Department of Public Health requested quotes due October 8, 2026 for educational contraceptive displays, anatomical models, and multilingual posters. The Oregon Department of the State Fire Marshal solicited no more than 200 fire prevention educational boxes (proposals due August 28, 2026). Rockland County issued a competitive solicitation due September 10, 2026 for sensory room, classroom, therapeutic, and adaptive products through manufacturer catalog discount pricing.
