UNSPSC 60104712: Frank hertz apparatus

An experimental apparatus used to demonstrate the existence of the energy level through the drop of the electron in the atom by colliding the electron with the atom.

UNSPSC 60104712 Frank hertz apparatus is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting Frank hertz apparatus or functionally equivalent physics laboratory equipment by that name. The code is highly specialized—it names a particular vacuum tube used in classical electron-collision experiments to demonstrate quantized energy levels—yet the recent state and local procurement activity in the source material reflects broader, catalog-based educational materials and supplies solicitations rather than discrete pieces of advanced physics apparatus.

The opportunities that do appear focus on comprehensive K-12 science supplies (preserved specimens, chemicals, general equipment), STEM kits and programs designed around college-readiness outcomes, and broad classroom materials portfolios spanning art, music, physical education, and instructional resources. When physics and laboratory equipment do surface, they appear as components of larger STEM initiatives—such as the Realityworks sole-source procurement in Seminole County, Florida, which included engineering labs and data-collection sensors, or as line items within district-wide science supplies catalogs (Cobb County, Georgia; Donna ISD, Texas). The Frank hertz apparatus, if it appears in any state or local procurement at all, would likely be embedded as a catalog item within those broader science-equipment bids rather than solicited as a standalone commodity. No recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB names this equipment, and geographic concentration data cannot be determined from the source material provided.
