UNSPSC 60104916: Thermoelectric effect apparatus

An apparatus experimenting seebeck effect, a phenomenon in which a temperature difference between two dissimilar electrical conductors or semiconductors produces a voltage difference between the two substances and Peltier effect, the inversed effect to Seebeck effect.

UNSPSC 60104916 Thermoelectric effect apparatus is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect thermoelectric equipment purchases; instead, they predominantly involve educational materials, supplies, and instructional equipment procured by school districts. The Katy Independent School District RFP #2428KD-A and the Cobb County School District IFB B26128 solicit general teaching materials, science supplies, and STEM kits — consumables and instructional products far removed from specialized thermoelectric apparatus. A single Seminole County Schools procurement (25260122S-VG) covers Anorthosite Highlands Simulant, a geological teaching material unrelated to thermoelectric effect measurement or demonstration equipment. School districts represent the primary issuing bodies across the block; no county governments, municipalities, or state departments have posted opportunities under this code in the recent window.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Florida and Arizona. Katy Independent School District (Harris County, Texas) and Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (Arizona, acting on behalf of the SAVE multi-jurisdictional cooperative) issued the most substantial recent solicitations, while Cobb County School District (Georgia) and Seminole County Schools (Florida) posted supplemental procurements. The Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (Texas) issued a smaller reading and video materials IFB (CRDG1026) due October 1, 2026. No recent opportunities target thermoelectric apparatus specifically, suggesting the code may be underutilized or misaligned with actual state and local buying patterns in this category. Vendors evaluating pursuit under this code should verify that specific district or agency opportunities are correctly tagged before committing to proposal development.
