UNSPSC 60104715: Pascals principle apparatus

A device used to demonstrate Pascal's principle that states that the pressure of an enclosed incompressible fluid is conveyed undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the surfaces of its container.

UNSPSC 60104715 Pascals principle apparatus is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows minimal activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve reading and video materials for school districts, teaching and instructional materials across multiple subject areas, STEM and college and career readiness kits and programs, and science supplies and equipment — none of which represent pascal's principle apparatus or hydraulic demonstration equipment as the code's name suggests. The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts: Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (Texas), Katy Independent School District (Texas), Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (Arizona, acting as the lead for the SAVE consortium), and Cobb County School District (Georgia). The code shows no recent activity from county procurement offices, cities, transit authorities, or state departments.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with a secondary presence in Arizona. Katy ISD appears twice as a repeat buyer, issuing RFP #2428KD-A in August 2026 for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services across multiple campuses (response due May 29, 2026; initial contract term through October 22, 2027, with renewal options to 2030), and an earlier RFP #2428KD in May 2026 for the same commodity category. Cobb County School District issued IFB B26128 in May 2026 for science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment serving 112 school sites ($175,000 estimated annual expenditure; response due June 16, 2026). Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 issued RFP 260331 in May 2026 for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials on behalf of the SAVE consortium (estimated annual usage $1,346,000 across participating districts; award by June 24, 2026; contract term July 15, 2026 through June 2031). The code's recent tagging appears misaligned with its intended scope, suggesting either data entry error or inconsistent UNSPSC classification by the issuing jurisdictions.
