UNSPSC 60104307: Planetary model

An astronomy model in which models of earth and moon are arranged with the sun in the center, and can explain phenomenon of rotation of earth on its axis and around the sun, day and night, solar eclipse and lunar eclipse, and changes in seasons.

UNSPSC 60104307 Planetary model is a Commodity code that in practice covers a much broader range of educational models, teaching aids, and classroom materials than its nominal title suggests. State and local governments buying under this code are actually procuring Montessori classroom supplies, sensory room and therapeutic products, STEM and college-readiness kits, fire prevention educational materials, and contraceptive education displays — all three-dimensional instructional tools and didactic resources for PreK-12 and public health settings. The issuing bodies span large urban school districts, state health and fire safety departments, county governments, and regional cooperative purchasing consortia. Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS), the nation's seventh-largest district serving 225,000 students across 235 schools in Florida, posted an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) in October 2026 for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies, including geography materials, language and grammar resources, mathematics manipulatives, science research materials, and nomenclature cards, with responses due April 10, 2026, and prices capped at 15 percent markup with one-year firm pricing. Rockland County established a catalog discount contract vehicle for sensory, classroom, and therapeutic products with responses due September 10, 2026; such procurement structures allow schools and agencies to order on an as-needed basis rather than commit to fixed quantities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Arizona, Illinois, and Oregon. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83, issuing an RFP on behalf of the Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (SAVE) cooperative, sought STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits and Programs for multiple Arizona school districts, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions with an estimated annual consortium spend of $1.346 million and responses due June 8, 2026. The Illinois Department of Public Health, Office of Health Improvement, posted a competitive low-bid request in October 2026 for educational contraceptive displays, handheld tools, and bilingual posters with responses due October 8, 2026. The Oregon Department of the State Fire Marshal solicited up to 200 NFPA Fire Prevention Week resource kits for distribution to Oregon fire agencies with proposals due August 28, 2026. These opportunities show a market spanning school procurement, regional consortia, state health departments, and public safety agencies, with contract structures ranging from unit-price ITQs to catalog discounts to multi-award RFPs.
