Musical Instruments

Product and Service Code (PSC) 7710 encompasses musical instruments and related equipment used primarily by military bands, educational institutions, and performance groups across federal agencies. These instruments include woodwinds, brass, percussion, and keyboard instruments, ranging from professional-grade orchestral models to specialized military band equipment. The category covers both complete instruments and specific accessories like cases, mouthpieces, and related musical hardware.

Federal contract awards under PSC 7710 demonstrate consistent procurement patterns, with most contracts ranging from $3,000 to $150,000 and typically lasting less than one year. The General Services Administration (GSA) and various military branches, including the Army, Navy, and Air Force, are frequent purchasers. Vendors like Alpha Safe And Vault, Inc., GT Music Inc., and Midwest Musical Imports frequently receive awards. Most contracts are firm fixed-price purchase orders, with a mix of small business set-asides, including total small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business designations. Performance locations are predominantly military installations and training facilities across the United States, with notable concentrations in Virginia, Texas, and Washington, DC.

Recent federal contract opportunities under PSC 7710 focus on specific, often brand-name musical instruments for military bands and educational programs. The Marine Corps, Army National Guard, and Navy are soliciting instruments such as Yamaha saxophones, Burkart and Miyazawa flutes, Miraphone tubas, and specialized brass instruments. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses and seek high-end, professional-grade instruments with precise technical specifications. Delivery locations include military bases in states like New York, Maryland, and Louisiana, with performance periods typically ranging from 30 to 90 days after contract award.
