UNSPSC 60104919: Leyden jar

A condenser made with an insulated glass bottle with tin foil inside and outside of the glass. It stores static electricity and is used for the discharge experiment.

UNSPSC 60104919 Leyden jar is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single opportunity posted under this code—Katy Independent School District's RFP #2428KD-A for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services (due May 29, 2026)—encompasses general classroom instruction materials, special education supplies, robotics equipment, 3D printers, and book vending machines, but does not reference Leyden jars or electrostatic laboratory apparatus in any form. The remaining opportunities in the source block, tagged to this code across Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and Florida school districts, solicit science supplies, STEM kits, educational materials, and classroom technology—none of which identify Leyden jars as a procured item or product category.

State and local procurement under this code appears dormant or misclassified at present. Recent school district solicitations for science instructional resources (Cobb County, DeKalb County, Donna ISD, and Cartwright Elementary School District) specify preserved specimens, chemicals, micromedia, live materials, general lab supplies, and STEM equipment packages, but Leyden jars do not appear in the itemized scopes, evaluation criteria, or vendor requirement descriptions. The issuing bodies—primarily independent school districts and consolidated district systems in the South and Southwest—are actively buying educational materials and science equipment on a multi-vendor, as-needed basis with annual contracts and renewal options, but the commodity code itself does not align with documented purchasing patterns in the current opportunity set. Pursuit of this code requires verification that end-customer demand for electrostatic demonstration equipment exists within your target jurisdiction.
