UNSPSC 60104501: Periodic table posters or boards

UNSPSC 60104501 Periodic table posters or boards, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve comprehensive educational materials and classroom supplies — Montessori manipulatives, curriculum resources, nomenclature cards, geography and science materials, and STEM kits — but do not center on periodic table posters or boards as discrete products. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, including Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida, which has posted multiple solicitations for classroom materials and supplies. The work being solicited spans blanket catalog discounts for ongoing material replenishment, fixed-price line-item quotations for curriculum packages, and RFP-based procurement of comprehensive STEM and College & Career Readiness kits and programs. Vendors are expected to provide firm pricing (either catalog discounts or fixed unit costs), comply with state-specific compliance requirements (including Florida's foreign-country-of-concern certifications and human trafficking prohibitions), maintain insurance with the district as additional insured, and deliver FOB destination with all shipping and handling included.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona and Florida. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83, acting as the administrator for the Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (SAVE) consortium, issued RFP 260331 on May 21, 2026, seeking STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials for multiple Arizona school districts, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions, with proposals due June 8, 2026 and estimated annual usage of approximately $1.3 million across participating members. Hillsborough County Public Schools posted multiple solicitations: ITB 26067ITBEST in February 2026 for Montessori classroom materials via catalog bid with a March 23, 2026 deadline, and ITQ 26126ITQEST in April 2026 for Montessori supplies comprising 310 line items with a response due April 10, 2026. The code shows little evidence of discrete periodic table poster or board procurement; firms evaluating this code should verify whether the tagging reflects current demand or represents a mismatch between the nominal commodity and the actual educational materials being purchased by school districts.
