UNSPSC 60104906: Battery kits

UNSPSC 60104906 Battery kits is a Commodity code that state and local governments solicited in early 2026 primarily for educational classroom materials and supplies rather than standalone battery products. The recent opportunities show school districts buying Montessori classroom supplies, STEM educational kits, and college-career readiness materials through RFP, ITB, and ITQ vehicles. The scope of work under this code spans educational resource catalogs—including manipulatives, nomenclature cards, curriculum materials, and classroom equipment—procured on blanket discount or fixed-price-per-unit models with firm pricing held across multi-year initial terms and optional renewals. Issuing bodies are predominantly large school districts, most notably Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida, which posted multiple overlapping solicitations for Montessori materials in February and April 2026, and Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 in Arizona, which convened a cooperative purchasing consortium (SAVE) spanning multiple Arizona school districts, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions to aggregate demand for STEM and career-readiness kits.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Arizona and Florida. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83, on behalf of the SAVE consortium, posted RFP 260331 for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials with a June 8, 2026 proposal deadline; survey data from participating districts indicated estimated annual usage of $1.3 million across individual district estimates ranging from $10,000 to $350,000, with multiple awards planned to begin July 15, 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued ITB 26067ITBEST on February 18, 2026 (due March 23, 2026) and ITQ 26126ITQEST on April 13, 2026 (due April 10, 2026) for Montessori classroom supplies via catalog discount and fixed unit-cost models, with participation extended to other county agencies including community colleges, state universities, and municipalities. Vendor pricing must remain firm for a minimum of one year, with automatic renewal for up to four additional years contingent on appropriations and performance; payment follows Net 45 terms from delivery or invoice.
