UNSPSC 60104616: Centripetal force apparatus

Devices used to study the centripetal force when an object has a circulation movement.

UNSPSC 60104616 Centripetal force apparatus (Commodity) comprises physics and STEM laboratory equipment that state and local school districts procure as part of broader science instruction and hands-on learning programs. Recent solicitations show districts purchasing centripetal force apparatus and related physics demonstration equipment as components of comprehensive science supply contracts, STEM enrichment kits, and integrated science instructional resource packages rather than as standalone items. The code captures consumable and durable science equipment that supports K-12 physics and engineering curricula across multiple grade levels and ability levels, including special education and advanced/enrichment tracks.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including independent school districts in Texas (Katy ISD, Donna ISD, Los Fresnos LFCISD), Georgia (Cobb County School District, DeKalb County School District), and Florida (Seminole County School Board), as well as county-level systems in Georgia and regions operating through cooperative purchasing consortia. Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with additional solicitations from Arizona school districts participating in the SAVE cooperative purchasing vehicle. Representative opportunities include Katy ISD's RFP #2428KD-A (posted July 10, 2026, response due May 29, 2026) for teaching and instructional materials across multiple subject areas including science, with an initial contract term through October 22, 2027 and renewal options extending to October 2030; Cartwright Elementary School District's RFP 260331 on behalf of the SAVE consortium (posted May 21, 2026, response due June 8, 2026) for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits and materials with estimated annual usage of $1,346,000 across participating Arizona school districts and higher education institutions; and Donna ISD's RFP #011326-871 (posted March 21, 2026, response due April 8, 2026) for a Science Supplies catalog bid establishing multiple-vendor awards for the 2026-2027 school year. Most district solicitations follow catalog-discount or discount-from-list pricing models on an as-needed purchase basis with no minimum volumes guaranteed, initial contract terms of one year, and optional renewals of one to three additional years.
