NIGP 58070: Recycled Musical Instruments, Accessories and Supplies

NIGP 58070 Recycled Musical Instruments, Accessories And Supplies, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of musical instruments and accessories by state and local governments, including acoustic and digital pianos, woodwind instruments (flutes, clarinets, saxophones, oboes, bassoons, piccolos), brass instruments (trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas, euphoniums), percussion instruments (timpani, cymbals, drums, marimbas, xylophones), and string instruments (violins, violas, cellos, basses, guitars). School districts and county governments dominate the issuing-body mix; Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government in Virginia, Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (a Texas-based regional purchasing entity serving member institutions) are recent repeat buyers. Solicitations seek both specific line-item pricing and tiered percentage discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price or full catalog pricing, with delivery typically required within 30 to 45 days of purchase order issuance. Vendors are expected to carry comprehensive inventory across instrument types and to provide one-year replacement warranty support.

Recent activity concentrates in Virginia, Maryland, and Texas. Wicomico County Public Schools issued IFB 58000-261 in May 2026 for 85 line items of musical instruments and pianos with sealed bids due June 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST, requiring FOB destination pricing, a $2,000,000 commercial general liability insurance certificate, and Maryland Certificate of Good Standing; the contract term runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government solicitation 2000004389, posted July 2, 2026, seeks term contracts for discounted musical instruments with proposals due August 6, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative has issued consecutive RFP cycles (MUSIC2223 with estimated expenditures of $4,023,841 and MUSIC2324 with estimated expenditures of $4,087,396) attracting 36 to 37 respondents each, signaling sustained demand for catalog discount arrangements across cooperative member institutions.
