UNSPSC 60104607: Pendulum apparatus

UNSPSC 60104607 Pendulum apparatus is a Commodity code that captures educational physics and mechanics demonstration equipment for K–12 and higher education instruction. State and local governments procure pendulum apparatus and related physics lab equipment as part of broader science supply solicitations serving classroom and laboratory instruction in mechanics, motion, energy, and engineering disciplines. School districts solicit this equipment through catalog-discount RFPs and RFQs that bundle pendulums with other science consumables, lab glassware, manipulatives, and instructional materials. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts (Katy ISD, Donna ISD, Cobb County Schools, DeKalb County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools) and regional consortia (SAVE cooperative purchasing) acquiring equipment for K–12 science programs; a college district (Valencia College) also procures classroom technology and laboratory support across multiple campuses.
