UNSPSC 60104400: Geology and earth science

UNSPSC 60104400 Geology and earth science is a Class code covering earth science instructional materials and geological services procured by school districts and county resource agencies. Recent state and local solicitations show this code capturing two distinct procurement streams: science textbooks and curriculum materials for high school geology and related earth sciences courses aligned with Next Generation Science Standards, and groundwater monitoring and geological sampling services for environmental and water resource management. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county governments; Clark County School District in Nevada has posted multiple concurrent RFPs for high school science textbook adoptions in late April 2026, while Sarasota County, Florida issued a professional services request for groundwater monitoring at a wellfield reserve in the same period.

Activity under the code concentrates in Nevada and Florida, with Clark County School District soliciting three science textbook adoptions simultaneously in April 2026 — Geoscience and Honors Geoscience (RFP 27002JBD), Physics and Honors Physics (RFP 27001BJN), and Chemistry and Honors Chemistry (RFP 27003LMK) — all due May 28, 2026, establishing seven-year adoption agreements running through June 30, 2033. These RFPs seek comprehensive digital and print materials with single sign-on integration, Canvas and Infinite Campus compatibility, FERPA and student privacy compliance, and lowest-price certifications across the continental United States. Sarasota County issued a Request for Professional Services (RPS) for Carlton Water Quality Monitoring (262824RM) on April 14, 2026, seeking a licensed Professional Engineer or Professional Geologist in Florida to perform quarterly and monthly groundwater sampling at 19 to 23 monitor wells under a three-year Continuing Services Agreement, with proposals due April 9, 2026, and evaluation by a Professional Services Review Committee advancing the top three proposers to interviews before award.
