UNSPSC 60104714: Boyles law apparatus

An apparatus used to experiment Boyle's law that states that in constant temperature the pressure and volume of the gas is inversely proportional.

UNSPSC 60104714 Boyles law apparatus, a Commodity code, encompasses laboratory apparatus and demonstration equipment for science education, particularly physics instruction. State and local governments procure boyles law equipment as part of broader science instructional resource and supply offerings. The code appears in science-focused solicitations issued by school districts acquiring teaching apparatus, lab equipment, and consumable science materials to support K-12 instruction across elementary, middle, and high school campuses. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county school systems, which bundle boyles law apparatus with general science supplies, STEM kits, and instructional materials in multi-category competitive procurements. These districts typically award multiple vendors under catalog-discount or framework-agreement structures to give building-level purchasing staff flexibility in sourcing items at varied price points.

Recent activity centers in Texas and Georgia, with solicitations from Cobb County School District (Georgia), Donna Independent School District (Texas), Katy Independent School District (Texas), and DeKalb County School District (Georgia). The Cobb County School District issued IFB B26128 on May 15, 2026, seeking science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment for 112 school sites, with bids due June 16, 2026, and an estimated annual expenditure of $175,000. Donna Independent School District posted RFP 011326-871 (Science Supplies Catalog Bid) on March 21, 2026, with responses due April 8, 2026, establishing a multi-vendor awarded list for 2026-2027 that includes science equipment and lab materials. Katy Independent School District issued RFP 2428KD-A on July 10, 2026, for teaching and instructional materials across multiple departments with a response deadline of May 29, 2026. DeKalb County School District issued RFQ 26-724 on February 12, 2026, for comprehensive K-12 Science Instructional Resources across 139 schools serving 93,000 students, with proposals due March 12, 2026. These procurements use discount-from-catalog pricing models and include boyles law apparatus within broader apparatus, equipment, and supply categories rather than as standalone line items.
