UNSPSC 60104408: Geology study kits

UNSPSC 60104408 Geology study kits (Commodity) does not align with the educational products actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The five opportunities on record—covering Montessori classroom supplies, contraceptive educational displays, fire prevention resource kits, sensory and therapeutic products, and STEM/college-readiness kits—reflect classroom materials, health education tools, and therapeutic resources with no geology, earth science, or geological-study focus. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or incorrectly across these diverse educational product categories, suggesting either data-entry misclassification by issuing bodies or a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the purchasing behavior it captures. State and local buyers issuing under this code include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 via the SAVE cooperative-purchasing consortium), a state health department (Illinois Department of Public Health), a state agency (Oregon Department of the State Fire Marshal), and a county government (Rockland County), though the purchasing is driven primarily by K–12 education procurement needs.

Recent activity spans Florida, Illinois, Oregon, and Arizona, with the largest single opportunity by survey-estimated annual usage in Arizona (Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 coordinating multiple districts and municipalities, with an estimated $1.35 million annual spend across fifteen participating entities). The Illinois Department of Public Health RFQ for contraceptive educational displays closed October 8, 2026 (response deadline passed). Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an ITQ for 310 line items of Montessori supplies with an April 10, 2026 response deadline and firm pricing for one year plus four optional renewals. The Cartwright district's RFP for STEM and college-readiness kits, issued on behalf of SAVE, closed June 8, 2026, with contract awards anticipated through June 24, 2026 and initial contract start July 15, 2026. The Oregon fire marshal's purchase of up to 200 NFPA Fire Prevention Week kits closed August 28, 2026. No geology or earth-science study kits appear in any recent solicitation under this code.
