UNSPSC 60105003: Electron apparatus

UNSPSC 60105003 Electron apparatus, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between the nominal taxonomy title and actual recent state and local solicitation activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code center on teaching and instructional materials for K–12 schools — including reading and video materials, STEM kits, science supplies and equipment, and general classroom instruction resources — rather than electron apparatus or electronic components. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, Katy Independent School District, Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (acting on behalf of the SAVE consortium), Cobb County School District, and the School Board of Seminole County appearing across the most recent postings. One state-level sole-source procurement (Seminole County's purchase of Anorthosite Highlands Simulant for the ePathways Department) stands outside the school-focused pattern, though the product itself remains unrelated to electron apparatus.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Georgia, with scattered postings in Florida and Arizona. Representative opportunities include Cobb County School District's IFB B26128 for science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment across 112 schools (bid due June 16, 2026), estimated annual spend $175,000; Katy Independent School District's RFP #2428KD-A for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services (proposals due May 29, 2026, contract term through October 22, 2027 with renewal options through October 23, 2030); and Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83's RFP 260331 on behalf of SAVE for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits, Programs & Materials across multiple Arizona school districts, municipalities, and counties (proposals due June 8, 2026, estimated annual usage $1,346,000 across participating districts). The code does not reflect current electron apparatus procurement; vendors should verify that their product category aligns with the actual work buying offices intend to tag.
