UNSPSC 60104203: Water models

UNSPSC 60104203 Water models is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity captures educational STEM and Montessori classroom supplies, manipulatives, and materials rather than physical hydrological or hydraulic models. School districts are the primary issuing bodies, with Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida and Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 in Arizona issuing multiple recent solicitations for comprehensive classroom supply catalogs. The work involves procuring blanket-discount pricing agreements and fixed-unit-cost supply schedules covering educational materials ranging from Montessori geography, language, and mathematics resources to broader STEM kits and college-readiness programs. Vendors typically submit either uniform discount percentages off established manufacturer or distributor catalogs, or fixed unit costs on required pricing sheets, with prices holding firm for one-year initial terms and renewal options extending up to four additional years. Evaluation criteria emphasize related work experience, personnel qualifications, product selection, cost, and reference performance surveys.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona and Florida. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 issued RFP 260331 on May 21, 2026, due June 8, 2026, seeking STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits and Materials on behalf of the SAVE consortium serving multiple Arizona school districts, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions, with estimated annual usage of $1.35 million across participating districts. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida issued ITQ 26126ITQEST on April 13, 2026 (due April 10, 2026) for Montessori Classroom Supplies covering 310 line items with a maximum 15 percent markup cap and firm pricing for one year, and ITB 26067ITBEST on February 18, 2026 (due March 23, 2026) for Montessori classroom materials through catalog-discount bidding available to other Hillsborough County public sector agencies including charter schools and municipalities. Neither the Arizona nor Florida solicitations impose set-asides, though Florida encourages Office of Supplier Development-registered small business enterprise participation and offers preferential consideration to drug-free workplace certified businesses in tied-bid situations.
