UNSPSC 60104708: Gas diffusion apparatus

UNSPSC 60104708 Gas diffusion apparatus is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as consumable science supplies and instructional materials supporting K-12 science instruction across chemistry, physics, and environmental science curricula. The recent solicitations show minimal direct demand for gas diffusion apparatus as a standalone item; instead, this code appears alongside broader science supply, STEM equipment, and educational materials procurement. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, acquiring these goods as part of comprehensive science lab supply contracts that bundle chemicals, glassware, preserved specimens, equipment, and consumables needed across multiple grade levels and campuses. A handful of school districts and educational consortia have posted opportunities in the past four months, with no discernible repeat buyers under this specific code.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida. Cobb County School District (Georgia) issued IFB B26128 on May 15, 2026, to procure science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment for 112 school sites, with responses due June 16, 2026, at an estimated annual expenditure of $175,000. Donna Independent School District (Texas) released RFP #011326-871 on March 21, 2026, seeking science supplies on a catalog-discount basis for the 2026-2027 school year, with proposals due April 8, 2026, as part of a multi-vendor awards structure. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83, on behalf of the Arizona SAVE consortium, issued RFP 260331 on May 21, 2026, for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials across multiple Arizona jurisdictions, with submission by June 8, 2026. DeKalb County School District (Georgia) posted RFQ 26-724 on February 12, 2026, for comprehensive K-12 Science Instructional Resources serving 93,000 students, with proposals due March 12, 2026. All procurements use catalog-discount or fixed-percentage-off models with F.O.B. Destination delivery and no guaranteed purchase minimums; most offer one-year initial terms with renewal options of two to four additional one-year periods.
