UNSPSC 60104307 Planetary model is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure educational models and manipulatives for STEM and science instruction, particularly three-dimensional representations used in classroom settings to teach planetary science, astronomy, and related concepts. Recent solicitations show school districts purchasing planetary models as components of broader STEM educational kits alongside other science materials, nomenclature cards, and manipulatives designed for elementary and upper-level instruction. The work is solicited primarily by school districts and their cooperative purchasing consortiums, with representatives of these models appearing in multi-item educational material procurements aimed at supporting 21st Century skills development and college and career readiness curricula.

Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida represents the most active recent buyer, issuing multiple solicitations over the past four months for Montessori classroom supplies and related educational materials that bundle planetary models with complementary science resources.
