NIGP 58025: Electronic Musical Instruments: Electronic Organs, Synthesizers, Visualizers, etc.

NIGP 58025 Electronic Musical Instruments: Electronic Organs, Synthesizers, Visualizers, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local school districts purchase band, orchestra, and general music classroom instruments—including acoustic and electronic keyboards, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings—along with ancillary equipment such as audio systems, storage racks, cases, and stands. Recent solicitations show school districts are buying both individual instruments for replacement and refresh, and comprehensive inventories for new school openings; the scope extends from specific brand-and-model procurement to term contracts establishing MSRP discounts across a vendor's full instrument catalog. Issuing bodies are exclusively K–12 school districts, spanning both large unified districts (Fontana Unified in California, serving 32,000 students across 45 sites) and smaller county systems (Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, Jackson County School System in Georgia, Columbia County School District in Georgia, Forsyth County Schools in Georgia, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia).

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Mid-Atlantic, with Georgia and Maryland each showing multiple districts soliciting between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Fontana Unified School District IFB (Bid No. 26/27-0006, due October 5, 2026) for 139 line items spanning all instrument families plus audio equipment for 45 school sites, with one-year firm pricing and F.O.B. delivery within 60 days; the Jackson County School System RFP (due August 31, 2026) for a comprehensive new-school opening inventory allowing used or refurbished products if condition and warranty are disclosed; the Wicomico County Public Schools IFB (due June 5, 2026) for 85 line items across all disciplines with multiple-vendor award, one-year warranty, and optional two one-year renewals; and Columbia County School District's bid for music storage furniture, shelving, and installation at two high schools (due October 16, 2026). Solicitation structures vary from lowest-responsive-bid awards to best-value evaluation weighting product quality, vendor experience, warranty, price, and delivery. All identified opportunities require new or certified products, documentation of relevant prior school-district experience, and compliance with insurance and tax-form submissions.
