UNSPSC 60131002: Accordions

UNSPSC 60131002 Accordions is a Commodity code that captures musical instruments purchased by state and local governments, though recent solicitations under this code reflect a much broader scope than accordions alone—school districts and county governments are buying full orchestral and band instrument inventories including woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion, and ancillary equipment such as cases, stands, bows, and storage racks. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts acquiring instruments for music education programs; Muscogee County School District and Fairfax County Public Schools are both active in recent months, soliciting term contracts with automatic renewal provisions and specifying student, intermediate, and professional-grade instruments from major manufacturers such as Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl. Pricing is often structured as per-unit costs on quote sheets with delivery FOB destination, and contracts typically run one to three years with options to award to single or multiple vendors.

Georgia and Virginia account for the recent activity documented in this code. Muscogee County School District posted ITB 27-002 on August 7, 2026, requesting sealed bids on over 600 line items of musical instruments with a response date of September 9, 2026 and contract award anticipated October 19, 2026; the contract runs October 20, 2026 through October 19, 2027 with automatic annual renewal not to exceed three years. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government posted a term contract solicitation (2000004389) on July 2, 2026, with proposals due August 6, 2026, seeking discounted pricing from MSRP on musical instruments for all departments and activities. Both opportunities emphasize general liability insurance requirements, E-Verify work authorization compliance, and firm pricing maintained through the contract term.
