UNSPSC 60104308: Celestial globe

A device with constellation and ecliptic on celestial sphere in the form of terrestrial globe. It can explain circumnavigation of celestial globe, location of stars, changes in constellation according to seasons.

UNSPSC 60104308 Celestial globe is a Commodity code that nominally covers terrestrial and celestial educational globes. State and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the abstract category name. The single recent solicitation tagged to this code—Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's June 2026 RFP for classroom furniture and supplies (CLSF2628)—requests vendors to provide a broad catalog of classroom furniture and supplies on a discount-pricing model, not celestial globes specifically. The solicitation invites qualified vendors to supply items through a two-year contract with pricing structured as percentage discounts from list prices rather than fixed unit costs, with evaluation criteria including depth of discounts, payment terms, free shipping availability, and purchase-order flexibility. The estimated total expenditure across the contract period is $21,568,516.00. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, serving as the issuing body, manages the procurement through its cooperative purchasing vehicle and has established an existing vendor base of 62 previously awarded suppliers in this category.

The geographic activity centers in Texas, where Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (based in Kilgore, Texas) issued the sole recent opportunity on record. The RFP response deadline was May 26, 2026, with a contract award term of June 18, 2026, through June 18, 2028, and submissions required online through the Cooperative's portal. The procurement includes no stated set-aside designations or vendor-type restrictions. The code shows limited recent activity aligned with celestial globes as a discrete product line; the tagged opportunity reflects classroom supplies procurement broadly, suggesting either a classification mismatch or minimal standalone demand for celestial globes under this UNSPSC Commodity code in recent state and local solicitations.
