NIGP 58005: Band and Choral Risers

NIGP 58005 Band And Choral Risers, an Item code, covers the purchase of musical instruments and related equipment that state and local governments — primarily school districts — actually buy to support band, orchestra, and choral programs. The recent solicitation activity under this code spans instrument procurement (woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion, and ancillary equipment such as cases, stands, and storage racks), instrument repair services, and related support items. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts, including Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government in Virginia, and Bibb County School District in Georgia. These jurisdictions solicit under RFP, RFQ, and ITB notice types, typically establishing term contracts or establishing pricing schedules to manage instruments sourced on an as-needed basis throughout a contract period.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Virginia. Muscogee County School District issued ITB 27-002 (due September 9, 2026) seeking bids on over 600 line items of musical instruments across all instrument families, with contract award anticipated October 19, 2026 and performance spanning October 2026 through October 2027 with automatic renewal options. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government solicited term contracts for discounted musical instruments from MSRP (due August 6, 2026), establishing pricing across both school and government departments. Bibb County School District issued RFQ 26-044 (due June 25, 2026) for band instrument repair services covering brass, woodwind, and percussion repairs across 38 school locations, with a one-year term and four-year renewal options.
