NIGP 58030: Metronomes and Tuners, Conventional or Electronic

NIGP 58030 Metronomes and Tuners, Conventional or Electronic is an Item code under which state and local governments procure musical instruments and related equipment to support instructional music programs in school districts and broader organizational needs. State and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for discounted catalog access to band and orchestra instruments, metronomes, tuners, and ancillary supplies rather than for single-unit or specialty items. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Cobb County School District) and regional purchasing cooperatives serving member institutions across multiple jurisdictions. The work involves establishing term contracts with percentage discounts from manufacturer's suggested retail price, supplying instruments and equipment to school music programs, and providing cooperative purchasing arrangements that aggregate demand across education agencies.

Recent activity spans Virginia and Georgia school districts as well as multi-state cooperative purchasing through Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government posted a term contract solicitation on July 2, 2026, with proposals due August 6, 2026, seeking discounted musical instruments for all departments across both entities. Cobb County School District issued a competitive bid on April 2, 2026, with a due date of April 23, 2026, for band and orchestra instruments and equipment to support its Instructional Music Program. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative has issued recurring annual catalog discount bids covering musical instruments, services, equipment, and supplies—most recently MUSIC2324 posted March 3, 2026, with a due date of May 30, 2023, estimated at $4,087,396 across member institutions and attracting 36 respondents in the prior award cycle.
