UNSPSC 60105100: Rocketry and flight materials and supplies

UNSPSC 60105100 Rocketry and flight materials and supplies is a Class code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses a far broader scope than its nominal name suggests. The code currently captures educational materials and supplies across multiple disciplines — reading and video materials, teaching and instructional products, STEM kits and programs, and science specimens, chemicals, and laboratory equipment — rather than aerospace or rocketry-specific commodities. State and local buyers using this code include independent school districts of varying sizes (Harlingen Consolidated ISD, Katy ISD, Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83, Cobb County School District) and, through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (SAVE) consortium, municipalities, counties, and higher education institutions. The work ranges from district-specific, commodity-level purchases to multi-jurisdiction cooperative solicitations designed to serve dozens of participating entities. Vendors typically compete on percentage discounts from catalog or manufacturer pricing, with F.O.B. Destination delivery and inside delivery required, and must establish online ordering platforms and account management capabilities to support ongoing school-year procurement and payment by purchase order or procurement card.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia school districts. Katy ISD (Harris County, Texas) issued RFP #2428KD-A in August 2026 for teaching and instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and services with a response deadline of May 29, 2026 (contract term through October 2027 with renewal options through October 2030). Cobb County School District (Marietta, Georgia) posted IFB B26128 on May 15, 2026, for science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment across 112 school sites with a June 16, 2026 response deadline and estimated annual expenditure of $175,000. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (Arizona), on behalf of the SAVE consortium, issued RFP 260331 for STEM and College & Career Readiness Kits and Programs with a June 8, 2026 deadline and survey-indicated annual usage of $1,346,000 across participating districts. Harlingen Consolidated ISD (Texas) solicited reading and video materials under bid CRDG1026 with an October 1, 2026 response deadline. Seminole County Schools (Florida) posted a sole-source procurement (25260122S-VG) for Anorthosite Highlands Simulant from Space Resource Technologies in July 2026 with approximate annual expenditure of $20,000, which does not align with the code's scope and represents an outlier in the recent-opportunity set.
