UNSPSC 60104503: Chemistry class kits

UNSPSC 60104503 Chemistry class kits is a Commodity code that spans science education consumables and instructional materials—preserved specimens, chemicals, laboratory supplies, and equipment—purchased by school districts to support K–12 science instruction. Recent state and local solicitations under this code emphasize comprehensive science supply procurement serving large, multi-campus districts. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts of varying size, from small independent districts to large countywide systems. The Cobb County School District in Georgia and Katy Independent School District in Texas appear repeatedly as active buyers, with several solicitations covering teaching and instructional materials that include chemistry and broader science supplies alongside equipment like STEM kits, robotics, and 3D printers. Science instruction procurement typically requires vendors to establish online ordering platforms, accept both purchase orders and procurement cards, provide quarterly reporting, and deliver to multiple school sites with unloading and inside delivery included.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, and Nevada. The Cobb County School District (Marietta, Georgia) issued IFB B26128 on May 15, 2026, requesting bids for science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment serving all 112 school sites with an estimated annual expenditure of $175,000, responses due June 16, 2026. Katy Independent School District (Harris County, Texas) released RFP #2428KD-A on August 14, 2026, for teaching and instructional materials including science supplies across multiple campuses, with proposals due May 29, 2026, and a contract term through October 22, 2027, with renewal options extending to October 23, 2030. The Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (Arizona) issued RFP 260331 on behalf of the SAVE cooperative purchasing consortium on May 21, 2026, for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits and materials serving multiple Arizona school districts and municipalities, with estimated annual usage of $1,346,000 across participating entities, proposals due June 8, 2026.
