This category includes manufacturing of professional-grade brass, woodwind, percussion, and string instruments for commercial, educational, and institutional use. Manufacturers in this category produce high-quality instruments designed for military bands, educational programs, professional orchestras, and other specialized musical performance environments.

Frequently awarded entities include GT Music Inc., Washington Music Sales Center, Midwest Musical Imports, and Flute Center, LLC. Most awards are set aside for small businesses, with many specifically targeting woman-owned, minority-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Common funding agencies include the Department of Defense Education Activity, Naval Education and Training Command, and various Army National Guard units. Performance locations are predominantly within the United States, with delivery points including military bases, music schools, and band facilities.
