UNSPSC 60121140: Mounting board

UNSPSC 60121140 Mounting board is a Commodity code that captures educational and laboratory equipment procurement, including synthetic anatomical models and specialized teaching apparatus used by state and local institutions. Recent state and local activity shows universities acquiring durable, dissectible synthetic human models to support anatomy and life-science curriculum delivery. The University of Mississippi Department of Biology represents the issuing-body type actively soliciting under this code—academic departments within public universities procuring specialized equipment to meet educational capacity and learning objectives. Scope of work includes sole-source and competitive acquisitions of anatomical teaching models that serve as flexible, reconditionable alternatives to traditional cadavers, enabling repeated use and customization across multiple course sessions and academic years.

The University of Mississippi posted a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase (9270-26-R-RFIN-00019) on March 20, 2026, with an April 6, 2026 deadline for objections, seeking one SynDaver Labs Synthetic Human, SynTissue, Anatomy Model SST Bundle (Female) for its Human Anatomy course (BISC 310). The University asserts that SynDaver Labs is the sole entity capable of producing a flexible, dissectible synthetic human unit meeting departmental specifications. No set-asides or vendor-type restrictions are noted in the opportunity. The procurement documentation does not disclose a specific dollar value but characterizes the proposed cost as reasonable given the extended usable life and reconditionable nature of the asset. Recent activity is limited; the source identifies one opportunity in Mississippi, reflecting sparse procurement velocity under this code within the observed timeframe.
