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, a Commodity code, covers hands-on physics demonstration equipment and teaching apparatus used to illustrate fluid mechanics principles in K-12 and higher-education science curricula. Recent state and local solicitations show this code appears alongside much broader classroom and laboratory supply procurements rather than as a standalone equipment line—Pascal's principle apparatus surfaces within larger STEM materials, science supplies, and educational equipment catalogs that districts award to multiple vendors on a discount-from-catalog basis. The issuing bodies are primarily independent school districts and county school systems procuring for multiple campuses and grade levels, with one higher-education science instructional resources procurement also in play.

Geographic spread of recent activity includes Texas (Katy ISD in Harris County; Donna ISD in Cameron County; Los Fresnos CISD in Cameron County), Georgia (Cobb County School District; DeKalb County School District; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), Florida (Valencia College District; Seminole County School Board), and Arizona (Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 on behalf of the SAVE consortium). Representative recent procurements include Cobb County School District's IFB B26128 for science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment across 112 school sites, due June 16, 2026; Katy ISD's RFP #2428KD-A for teaching and instructional materials covering multiple disciplines including science, due May 29, 2026; and DeKalb County School District's RFQ 26-724 for comprehensive K-12 science instructional resources aligned with Georgia standards, due March 12, 2026. Vendors responding to these solicitations must provide discount percentages off catalog prices, meet insurance and compliance requirements including E-Verify affidavits and debarment certifications, and typically commit to inside delivery with no additional charges. Districts make no minimum-purchase guarantees and reserve the right to award multiple vendors and cancel without obligation.
