UNSPSC 60104924: Faradays law apparatus

Equipment that is used to experiment the Law of Electronic Induction of M. Faraday, which induces the voltage with the magnetic field within the coil changed by moving the magnet in the coil wrapped with the conducting wire.

UNSPSC 60104924 Faradays law apparatus is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity and poor alignment between the code's nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually purchasing under this designation. The code nominally covers physics laboratory apparatus for demonstrating electromagnetic induction principles, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code include reading and video materials for school libraries, general teaching and instructional supplies across multiple subject areas, STEM and college readiness kits, science specimens and chemicals, and in one instance a Faraday tent (an electromagnetic shielding enclosure used by law enforcement). State and local school districts dominate the issuing bodies, including Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District in Texas, Katy Independent School District in Harris County, Texas, Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 in Arizona, and Cobb County School District in Georgia; one procurement came from the Idaho Department of Administration for Idaho State Police. The mismatch between the code's technical focus and the breadth of instructional materials actually being purchased suggests either deliberate over-tagging or administrative classification drift within state and local procurement systems.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia, with outlier activity in Arizona and Idaho. Representative recent opportunities include Harlingen Consolidated ISD's September 2026 RFQ for Reading & Video Materials (CRDG1026, due October 1, 2026), Katy ISD's August 2026 RFP for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services across multiple subject areas (RFP #2428KD-A, due May 29, 2026), Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83's May 2026 RFP on behalf of the SAVE consortium for STEM and college readiness kits and programs (RFP260331, due June 8, 2026, with estimated annual usage of $1,346,000 across participating districts), and Cobb County School District's May 2026 IFB for science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment serving 112 schools and 105,738 students (IFB B26128, due June 16, 2026, with estimated annual expenditure of $175,000). The code shows no relevant state or local procurement activity that actually targets Faraday apparatus or electromagnetic induction laboratory equipment as a distinct product line.
