UNSPSC 60104008: Protein testing kits or supplies

UNSPSC 60104008 Protein testing kits or supplies, a Commodity code, shows limited direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—two from Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) for Montessori classroom materials and supplies, and one from Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits—do not align with the code's nominal scope of protein-specific laboratory or diagnostic testing supplies. The Montessori solicitations emphasize geography materials, language and grammar resources, mathematics manipulatives, nomenclature cards, and science research materials; the STEM RFP targets comprehensive 21st-century skills educational products and college-and-career-readiness programming. None of the recent postings explicitly reference protein testing, clinical diagnostics, or laboratory analysis kits.

Geographic activity under the code centers on Florida and Arizona, with Hillsborough County Public Schools—the nation's seventh-largest school district—appearing as a repeat buyer across two separate Montessori procurement vehicles. The most recent opportunity is an ITQ (Invitation to Quote) from HCPS posted April 13, 2026, with a due date of April 10, 2026 (already closed), for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies with estimated annual usage potentially reaching thousands of dollars per supplier; an earlier ITB from HCPS posted February 18, 2026, with a March 23, 2026 submission deadline, sought blanket discount pricing on Montessori materials for as-needed purchases across Hillsborough County and subordinate public agencies. The Cartwright Elementary School District RFP (RFP260331), posted May 21, 2026, with a June 8, 2026 due date on behalf of the Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (SAVE) consortium, solicits STEM kits and materials for multiple Arizona jurisdictions, with survey data from fifteen participating districts indicating estimated annual usage of $1,346,000. The code shows no relevant recent activity outside these education-focused procurement streams and does not reflect current state and local demand for protein-specific testing supplies.
