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 is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited in recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities in the source show school districts purchasing reading and video materials, teaching and instructional supplies and equipment, STEM and college readiness kits, and science specimens and chemicals—none of which are Boyles law apparatus or physics laboratory equipment. The nominal code scope (a specific piece of physics apparatus for demonstrating gas laws) bears no relationship to the educational materials, consumables, and general instructional equipment state and local governments are currently procuring under this classification.

School districts in Texas, Georgia, and Florida issued the recent opportunities, with Katy Independent School District (Katy ISD) and Cobb County School District appearing as repeat buyers. Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District issued a reading and video materials bid (CRDG1026, due Oct 1, 2026); Katy ISD issued an RFP for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services (RFP2428KD-A, due May 29, 2026, with a contract term running through October 22, 2027, and renewal options to October 23, 2030); Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 issued an RFP on behalf of the SAVE consortium for STEM and college readiness kits and programs (RFP260331, due Jun 8, 2026, with estimated annual usage of $1,346,000); and Cobb County School District issued an IFB for science supplies (B26128, due Jun 16, 2026, with estimated annual expenditure of $175,000). The School Board of Seminole County, Florida, posted a sole-source procurement for Anorthosite Highlands Simulant (25260122S-VG, due Jun 9, 2026, approximately $20,000 annually). This code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated commodity definition.
