UNSPSC 60104918: Photoelectric apparatus

A device which can demonstrate the photo electric effect and the Planck constant by using the photo electric tube. It can identify the wave length of the light, and it consists of a photo electric tube, the amperemeter, the light source, and the current amplifier.

UNSPSC 60104918 Photoelectric apparatus, a Commodity code, covers detection, display, and control equipment used in classroom and educational facility technology systems. State and local governments procure under this code primarily photoelectric sensors, motion detectors, document cameras, and integrated control panels that serve instructional and operational needs in K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and school districts. School districts dominate the buyer base, with recent activity also including independent school districts, county school systems, and community college systems. The work being solicited reflects a shift toward comprehensive classroom technology ecosystems: vendors supply not only the photoelectric components themselves but also system design, integration, installation, and maintenance services bundling hardware, programming, and on-site support into turnkey offerings.
