UNSPSC 60104104: Body systems teaching kits

UNSPSC 60104104 Body systems teaching kits (Commodity) comprises educational materials and kits that state and local governments, particularly school districts, procure to support STEM instruction, science curriculum, and classroom-based learning across elementary through higher education settings. Recent solicitations show school districts acquiring comprehensive educational kits, manipulatives, curriculum materials, and classroom supplies—including Montessori materials, science resources, nomenclature cards, mathematics task cards, and geography materials—often through volume purchasing consortia and blanket catalog agreements that allow ongoing procurement based on instructional need rather than fixed quantities.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida appearing three times in recent opportunities and Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (Arizona) issuing on behalf of the SAVE consortium covering multiple Arizona school districts, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions. Geographic activity centers on Arizona and Florida, where recent solicitations posted between February and May 2026 show active procurement. Representative opportunities include Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83's RFP 260331 (STEM & College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials), issued May 21, 2026, with proposals due June 8, 2026 and estimated annual usage of $1,346,000 across SAVE members; and HCPS's Invitation to Bid 26067ITBEST for Montessori classroom materials via catalog bid mechanism, posted February 18, 2026, with bids due March 23, 2026. Contracts typically run one year with options to extend for up to four additional one-year terms contingent on performance and funding availability. No set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions appear in the recent opportunities, though HCPS encourages participation by Office of Supplier Development-registered small business enterprises and drug-free workplace certified vendors.
