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 that covers specialized physics instructional equipment used in K–12 science education, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation. The recent opportunities identified in the source material do not feature stand-alone procurement of Coriolis force apparatus; instead, the code appears in the broader context of school district purchasing for science instructional materials, equipment, and STEM resources bundled with many other classroom tools and supplies. When school districts solicit science equipment, they typically request consolidated catalog discounts or framework agreements that encompass preserved specimens, chemicals, general lab equipment, manipulatives, physics apparatus, and digital learning systems as a single procurement rather than isolating individual demonstration devices. The issuing bodies are primarily independent school districts and consolidated county school systems in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, along with one state cooperative purchasing consortium serving Arizona school districts and municipalities.

Recent activity shows school districts in Texas (Donna ISD, Katy ISD, Los Fresnos CISD) and Georgia (Cobb County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, DeKalb County Schools) issuing RFPs and IFBs for general science supplies and instructional materials on an as-needed basis with multi-vendor awards, typically effective for the 2026–2027 school year and extending through August 31, 2027, with options for two additional one-year renewals. Cobb County Schools issued IFB B26128 on May 15, 2026, due June 16, 2026, for science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment across all 112 schools serving 105,738 students with an estimated annual expenditure of $175,000; Donna ISD issued RFP #011326-871 on March 21, 2026, due April 8, 2026, for science supplies catalog bids; and Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 in Arizona, on behalf of the SAVE consortium, issued RFP 260331 on May 21, 2026, due June 8, 2026, for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits and Programs targeting multiple school districts, municipalities, and counties across Arizona with estimated annual usage of $1,346,000. Individual Coriolis force apparatus units do not appear as line-item solicitations; vendors pursuing this commodity typically compete within larger framework agreements emphasizing catalog discounts, bulk pricing, and integrated science curriculum packages rather than point-of-sale specification of discrete demonstration devices.
