UNSPSC 60104504: Chemistry demonstration kits

UNSPSC 60104504 Chemistry demonstration kits is a Commodity code reflecting consumable and integrated science instructional materials that state and local school districts buy to support K–12 science curricula. Recent solicitations show demand for chemistry-specific content bundled with broader instructional kit programs, hands-on laboratory supplies, and STEM educational packages that align with state science standards and support differentiated instruction across multiple grade levels. Issuing bodies are primarily independent school districts and consolidated independent school districts, with one multicounty consortium procurement. Representative solicitations include Katy Independent School District (Texas) issuing RFP #2428KD-A for teaching and instructional materials including chemistry supplies across multiple campuses (due May 29, 2026); Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (Arizona) soliciting on behalf of the SAVE cooperative purchasing consortium for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials serving multiple Arizona school districts, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions (RFP 260331, due June 8, 2026); and Donna Independent School District (Texas) issuing RFP #011326-871 for a science supplies catalog bid establishing a multi-vendor awarded list for the 2026–2027 school year (due April 8, 2026). Cobb County School District in Georgia procured science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment for all 112 school sites through IFB B26128 (due June 16, 2026, estimated annual expenditure $175,000).

Geography spans Texas (Katy ISD, Donna ISD), Georgia (Cobb County, DeKalb County), Arizona (Cartwright/SAVE), Florida (Seminole County, Valencia College District), and Nevada (Clark County School District). The SAVE consortium procurement and the broad educational materials RFPs from Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (RFP 26-35, due April 28, 2026) indicate recurring demand for chemistry demonstrations and science kits bundled within larger educational-supplies frameworks. Vendors responding should anticipate proposals structured around percentage discounts from catalog prices, F.O.B. Destination delivery with inside delivery to school sites, firm pricing through the contract term, sample provision on request, and compliance with state procurement laws, E-Verify registration, debarment certifications, and tax and insurance documentation. Contract terms typically run one to three years with renewal options, and awards often go to multiple vendors. The code shows consistent demand from school districts seeking integrated STEM materials and chemistry-specific hands-on instructional content aligned with state science standards.
