UNSPSC 60104504: Chemistry demonstration kits

UNSPSC 60104504 Chemistry demonstration kits is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure science education materials and equipment — including preserved specimens, chemicals, live materials, laboratory supplies, and STEM instructional kits — to support K–12 science instruction and demonstration activities. Recent activity shows school districts as the primary buyers. Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (Texas) and Katy Independent School District (Texas) have both posted solicitations for reading and video materials and teaching and instructional materials respectively; Cobb County School District (Georgia) issued an IFB for science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment serving 112 school sites across 105,738 students; Clark County School District (Nevada) solicited Chemistry and Honors Chemistry textbooks and instructional materials; Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (Arizona), acting on behalf of the SAVE consortium, posted an RFP for STEM and College & Career Readiness kits and materials serving multiple Arizona school districts, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions; and the School Board of Seminole County (Florida) pursued a sole-source procurement for five tonnes of Anorthosite Highlands Simulant for its ePathways Department. The code captures a broad range of instructional products spanning general science supplies, specialized simulants and specimens, and integrated STEM programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida. The Cobb County School District IFB (B26128), due June 16, 2026, covers science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment with an estimated annual expenditure of $175,000 and requires vendors to establish online ordering platforms with quarterly reporting and ten-business-day delivery to 112 sites. The Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 RFP (RFP260331), due June 8, 2026, seeks STEM and College & Career Readiness kits for a SAVE consortium with anticipated annual usage of $1,346,000 across participating districts and a one-year initial term with up to four renewal options. The Clark County School District RFP (27003LMK) for Chemistry and Honors Chemistry textbooks, due May 28, 2026, structures awards as seven-year Textbook Price Agreements (July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2033) and requires materials to meet EdReports "Meet Expectations" performance standards and NGSS Design Badge criteria. The Seminole County School Board's sole-source procurement for Anorthosite Highlands Simulant, due June 9, 2026, targets approximately $20,000 in annual expenditure for specialized moon-regolith simulation material used in the ePathways program.
