NIGP 58010: Band Instruments and Accessories

NIGP 58010 Band Instruments and Accessories, an Item code, encompasses the purchase of new band and orchestral instruments across all families—woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion—along with ancillary equipment, cases, stands, and accessories, primarily through school district procurement. Recent state and local solicitations show school districts dominating this code, with secondary activity from state human services agencies. School districts are sourcing complete instrument inventories for new schools, replenishing existing programs, establishing discounted-pricing term contracts with manufacturers, and contracting for band repair services; Muscogee County School District's ITB 27-002 (Georgia, September 2026) exemplifies the scope, requesting over 600 line items across all instrument families in student, intermediate, and professional grades from vendors such as Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl, with unit pricing and as-needed sourcing through October 2027. Purchase quantities range from single units to dozens per instrument type, and specifications frequently require exact makes and models with no substitutions accepted, as illustrated by Cache County School District's RFQ for two new middle schools (Utah, June 2026) and Forsyth County Schools' B26-09 solicitation (Georgia, July 2026). Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Muscogee County, Forsyth County, Bibb County, Wicomico County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Cache County School District, School District U-46), county governments (Fairfax County Government), and specialized state agencies such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring instruments for active treatment services at state supported living centers.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, with additional recent opportunities in Illinois, Texas, Maryland, Virginia, and Utah. The Muscogee County ITB (Georgia, ITB 27-002, bids due September 9, 2026) and the Wicomico County Public Schools IFB (Maryland, IFB 58000-261, bids due June 5, 2026, covering 85 line items including pianos and orchestral instruments on a one-year renewable term through 2027) represent larger, multi-category procurements. Smaller, focused solicitations include the Bibb County School District RFQ for band repair services across 38 school locations (Georgia, quotes due June 25, 2026, with preferred vendors within 250 miles and seven-day repair turnaround, one-year term with four-year renewal option) and the Texas HHSC IFB for specific consumables and instruments (bids due August 19, 2026, historical annual value $25,000–$50,000, September 2026–August 2027 term). Contract terms typically run one to three years with renewal options, payment net 30, and general liability insurance minimums of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence. No set-asides or preference programs are explicitly stated in the recent opportunities.
