UNSPSC 60104620: Physics lesson kit

Educational material used to teach physics

UNSPSC 60104620 Physics lesson kit is a Commodity code for standalone educational product bundles and laboratory equipment systems that enable hands-on instruction in physics concepts, mechanics, and experimental methodology. State and local governments procure these kits as part of broader science curriculum adoption and STEM enrichment initiatives. The recent solicitation activity shows that physics lesson kits are frequently bundled within larger science supply and instructional materials contracts rather than solicited in isolation, reflecting school district preference for establishing multi-vendor catalogs that include physics kits alongside other science consumables, equipment, and digital resources.

School districts and county school systems drive the bulk of procurement activity under this code, with Texas independent school districts (Donna ISD, Katy ISD, and Los Fresnos CISD) and large county systems in Georgia and Florida (Cobb County School District, DeKalb County School District, Seminole County Schools) posting repeated opportunities in the January–July 2026 window. Katy Independent School District (Katy ISD) in Harris County, Texas issued RFP 2428KD-A on July 10, 2026, for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment and services across multiple campuses with a May 29, 2026 response deadline and a contract term through October 22, 2027, with renewal options extending to October 2030; the solicitation explicitly encompasses physics-related equipment and learning materials. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83, on behalf of the SAVE cooperative purchasing consortium, issued RFP 260331 on May 21, 2026, for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials serving multiple Arizona school districts, municipalities, and higher education institutions, with a June 8, 2026 response deadline and an estimated annual usage pool of $1.35 million across participating jurisdictions. Cobb County School District (Marietta, Georgia) issued IFB B26128 on May 15, 2026, for science supplies including specimens, chemicals, equipment, and materials across all 112 school sites, due June 16, 2026, with an estimated annual expenditure of $175,000. Seminole County Schools (Florida) issued a sole-source Notice of Intent on February 20, 2026, for specialized STEM laboratory equipment including DataSnap Physics-related STEM labs from Realityworks, with a March 2, 2026 protest deadline and an approximate annual expenditure of $32,118. Donna ISD (Cameron County, Texas) issued RFP 011326-871 on March 21, 2026, for science supplies including physics lab equipment, due April 8, 2026, with a contract term from September 2026 through August 2027 and optional two-year renewals. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Arizona, with Texas school districts representing the largest cluster of recent buyers.
