UNSPSC 60104102: Cell models

UNSPSC 60104102 Cell models is a Commodity code that captures educational science materials and models purchased by state and local school districts, primarily for STEM instruction and classroom use. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show substantial demand for hands-on educational kits, manipulatives, curriculum materials, and teaching supplies designed to support science, mathematics, and career-readiness instruction. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code are predominantly large school districts and school district consortia, with Hillsborough County Public Schools (the nation's seventh-largest district) and Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (representing a multi-entity SAVE consortium spanning Arizona school districts, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions) appearing as repeat buyers. These districts are structured to procure through cooperative purchasing vehicles and blanket discount or catalog-based pricing arrangements that serve multiple jurisdictions within their regions.

Activity under the code concentrates in Florida and Arizona. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued multiple recent opportunities, including an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) for Montessori Classroom Supplies (solicitation 26126ITQEST, due April 10, 2026) spanning 310 line items across Upper Elementary and Primary Classroom packages, and an Invitation to Bid for Montessori Classroom Materials via catalog bid (solicitation 26067ITBEST, due March 23, 2026) structured as blanket discount pricing off current catalogs. Cartwright Elementary School District, on behalf of the SAVE consortium, issued a Request for Proposal for STEM & College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials (solicitation RFP260331, due June 8, 2026) with estimated annual consortium usage of $1.346 million across participating districts. Both procurement structures emphasize firm fixed pricing with one-year minimums and multi-year renewal options contingent on performance and appropriations. The code shows no formal set-asides, though Florida solicitations encourage participation from Office of Supplier Development-registered small business enterprises and drug-free workplace certified vendors.
