UNSPSC 60104903: Electrostatic kits

UNSPSC 60104903 Electrostatic kits, a Commodity code, shows modest recent state and local procurement activity focused on STEM and educational materials for K–12 and higher education institutions rather than electrostatic equipment in the strict technical sense. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily large school districts and county educational consortia seeking comprehensive educational product suites—including science manipulatives, STEM kits, classroom materials, and college-career readiness programs—bundled as part of broader educational procurement frameworks. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and educational consortia serving multiple school systems, supplemented by occasional municipal and county participation in multi-entity purchasing vehicles. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida and Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 in Arizona, via the Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (SAVE) consortium, emerge as repeat and significant recent buyers. Contract structures favor catalog-based or discount-off-list pricing with firm, fixed unit costs and one-year initial terms renewable for up to four additional years, with purchases made on an as-needed basis rather than firm commitments.

The code shows strongest recent activity in Arizona and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83's RFP 260331 for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials (response due June 8, 2026, with contract awards by June 24, 2026 and notice of award by June 25, 2026), which estimated annual usage across fifteen participating school districts at $1,346,000; Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITQ 26126ITQEST for Montessori Classroom Supplies posted April 13, 2026 (due April 10, 2026), covering 310 line items in elementary and primary classroom packages; and Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26067ITBEST for Montessori Classroom Materials via catalog bid (due March 23, 2026). No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in recent solicitations, though Florida procurement encourages small business enterprise participation and recognizes drug-free workplace certification in tie-breaker evaluation.
