UNSPSC 60104903: Electrostatic kits

UNSPSC 60104903 Electrostatic kits, a Commodity code, encompasses educational and instructional materials and kits that state and local governments procure for classroom use, student engagement, and public health or safety education — though the recent solicitations tagged under this code show a significant mismatch between the nominal product category and actual buying patterns. The code shows activity primarily among school districts and state health or safety agencies sourcing Montessori classroom supplies, STEM and College & Career Readiness kits, sensory and therapeutic classroom products, educational contraceptive displays and materials, and fire prevention week resource kits. Issuing bodies include large school districts such as Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida (225,000 students across 235 schools), multi-district cooperative purchasing consortiums such as the Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (SAVE), county governments including Rockland County, and state-level agencies including the Illinois Department of Public Health and Oregon Department of the State Fire Marshal. Vendors typically supply materials through catalog discount pricing, fixed unit-cost pricing with markup caps, or tiered pricing structures negotiated for one-year initial terms with renewal options contingent on performance and appropriations.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Arizona, and New York, with school districts dominating the issuing-body mix. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' October 2026 ITQ for 310 line items of Montessori classroom supplies including mathematics manipulatives, nomenclature cards, and geography materials, due April 10, 2026 via VendorLink; Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 on behalf of SAVE's May 2026 RFP for STEM and College & Career Readiness kits and materials serving multiple Arizona jurisdictions with estimated annual usage of $1,346,000 across participating districts, proposals due June 8, 2026 via Bonfire; the Illinois Department of Public Health's October 2026 competitive quote for educational contraceptive displays and anatomical models, due October 8, 2026 via Bidbuy; Rockland County's August 2026 solicitation for sensory room and therapeutic products through manufacturer catalog pricing, due September 10, 2026; and the Oregon Department of the State Fire Marshal's August 2026 procurement for up to 200 NFPA Fire Prevention Week resource kits, due August 28, 2026. Awards generally follow lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder criteria with preferences or encouragement toward small business enterprise registration or drug-free workplace certification where stated.
