UNSPSC 60104713: Liquid expansion apparatus

An experimental device used to test the expansion of liquid by temperature. It can calculate the coefficient of liquid expansion by measuring the liquid volume which expands as the temperature increase.

UNSPSC 60104713 Liquid expansion apparatus is a Commodity code for which state and local procurement records show little relevant recent activity. The five opportunities posted between May and September 2026 under this code relate instead to reading and video materials, teaching and instructional supplies, anorthosite highlands simulant for educational simulation, STEM and college readiness kits, and science supplies and equipment—none of which constitute liquid expansion apparatus procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being tagged suggests that either the code is misapplied in these school district solicitations or the commodity itself sees minimal state and local government demand through formal competitive procurements.

The issuing bodies are all education-sector entities: Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District and Katy Independent School District (both Texas), the School Board of Seminole County (Florida), Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (Arizona, on behalf of the SAVE consortium), and Cobb County School District (Georgia). Geographic activity clusters in Texas and the Southeast, with no posted opportunities suggesting that liquid expansion apparatus itself is a contracted commodity at state and local level. Given the code mismatch and absence of solicitations actually seeking liquid expansion apparatus, this code does not present a viable pursuit vector in current state and local procurement.
