UNSPSC 60104306: Planetarium

Devices used to observe the celestial movements by making pin hole on the globe in shape of stars according to the stellar magnitude, and projecting the light through the hole, thus showing the constellation onto the dome-style screen.

UNSPSC 60104306 Planetarium is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows up tagged to educational science materials and classroom supplies rather than planetarium equipment or programs per se. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts procuring comprehensive STEM and hands-on learning materials — including Montessori classroom supplies, manipulatives, nomenclature cards, and science research kits — designed to develop 21st century skills and college-and-career readiness. Issuing bodies are large K–12 school districts and special-purpose educational cooperatives. Hillsborough County Public Schools, a top-ten national district serving 225,000 students across 235 schools, has issued multiple solicitations under or aligned with this code: an ITQ for Montessori supplies (310 line items), an ITB for Montessori materials via catalog discount, and participation in the Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (SAVE) cooperative. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 in Arizona issued RFP 260331 on behalf of SAVE consortium members (multiple Arizona school districts, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions) for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials.

Recent activity centers in Arizona and Florida. The Cartwright/SAVE RFP (due June 8, 2026) seeks multiple vendors capable of supplying comprehensive STEM educational products and services, with survey data from fifteen participating districts indicating estimated annual usage of $1,346,000 across individual district estimates ranging from $10,000 to $350,000; contracts are for one year with options to extend up to four additional one-year terms. Hillsborough County's ITB 26067 (due March 23, 2026) and ITQ 26126 (due April 10, 2026) use blanket catalog discount and fixed unit-cost models respectively, both renewable for up to four additional one-year periods. All three solicitations require firm pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with Florida or Arizona procurement statutes (including foreign-entity and human-trafficking certifications), and debarment clearances; Hillsborough County extends participation to other public sector agencies within the county including municipalities and charter schools under the same terms.
