UNSPSC 60104414: Terrestrial globe

Auxiliary material for earth science-related education in order for user to recognize earth as a globe by expressing the status of earth surface without modification in mutual spatial relationship, and to understand location and relation of each location on the globe, as well as movement of earth and relationship between day and night and seasons.

UNSPSC 60104414 Terrestrial globe is a Commodity code that encompasses educational reference materials and instructional aids purchased primarily by school districts for classroom instruction across K-12 grade levels. Recent state and local procurement activity shows this code appearing in broader educational materials and supplies solicitations where terrestrial globes are cataloged among dozens of instructional products—reference globes, maps, charts, and related geography and science teaching aids—rather than as standalone procurements. School districts issue these requests as catalog-discount RFPs and RFQs that establish multi-vendor awarded lists for discretionary, as-needed purchasing throughout the school year, typically with pricing anchored to percentage discounts off published catalogs or manufacturer lists.

Activity clusters in Texas and Georgia, where independent school districts in Cameron County (Donna ISD), Harris County (Katy ISD), and surrounding regions, as well as large urban districts including Cobb County Schools (Marietta, Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and DeKalb County School District (Georgia) have posted solicitations in recent weeks. Katy ISD issued RFP #2428KD-A in May 2026 for Teaching and Instructional Materials, Supplies, Equipment and Services with a May 29, 2026 response deadline, encompassing general instruction materials across multiple subjects. Donna ISD in Cameron County, Texas posted a Classroom Supplies & Materials Catalog Bid (RFP 011326-870) due April 8, 2026, and a separate Science Supplies Catalog Bid (RFP 011326-871) due the same date, both intended to award multiple vendors. Cobb County School District (Georgia) issued IFB B26128 for Science Supplies with a June 16, 2026 deadline, covering preserved specimens, chemicals, and general science supplies and equipment across 112 school sites. Most of these procurement vehicles span contract terms of one year with renewal options for additional years, F.O.B. Destination delivery including inside delivery to school buildings, and no minimum purchase guarantees—typical structural patterns for school district catalog-discount buys where terrestrial globes would be a minor line item within a much larger consumable and equipment portfolio.
