UNSPSC 60104413: Coriolis force apparatus

Apparatuses used to experiment the Corioli force which is virtual energy and appears from the spinning thing

UNSPSC 60104413 Coriolis force apparatus is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of Coriolis force apparatus or related physics laboratory equipment. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover educational materials, supplies, and equipment for K–12 instruction across broader subject areas including STEM, science supplies, reading materials, and college and career readiness kits. The mismatch between the code's technical definition and the actual solicitation scope suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a significant gap between the taxonomy and current state and local purchasing practice for specialized laboratory apparatus.

State and local school districts in Texas, Georgia, and Florida posted the recent opportunities under this code, including Harlingen Consolidated ISD (Reading & Video Materials, IFB CRDG1026, due October 1, 2026), Katy ISD (Teaching and Instructional Materials, Supplies, Equipment and Services, RFP #2428KD-A, due May 29, 2026), Cobb County School District in Georgia (Science Supplies, IFB B26128, due June 16, 2026), and Seminole County Schools in Florida (Anorthosite Highlands Simulant, sole-source notice 25260122S-VG, due June 9, 2026). A cooperative purchasing consortium in Arizona—Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 on behalf of SAVE—also posted an RFP for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits and Programs (RFP260331, due June 8, 2026). The actual commodity codes driving state and local procurement for general science supplies and instructional materials appear to be managed outside this taxonomy category. Vendors targeting Coriolis force apparatus or specialized physics lab equipment should verify direct alignment with issuing bodies' actual procurement needs rather than relying on this code's tagging pattern.
