UNSPSC 60131007: Melodica

A small keyboard instrument that creates sound by blowing wind and pressing keyboard. It has about 20~40 keys on the keyboard. One can hold the instrument in both hands to play by blowing air into the instrument or place it on the floor and blow air into the instrument by using long pipe connected to the instrument.

UNSPSC 60131007 Melodica is a Commodity code capturing the procurement of individual wind and percussion instruments by state and local school districts and government agencies. Recent state and local solicitations show that melodicas are purchased as part of broader musical instrument buys—school districts source them alongside saxophones, clarinets, trumpets, trombones, percussion, and strings through ITBs, IFBs, and term-contract RFPs. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Muscogee County Schools, Forsyth County Schools, Wicomico County Public Schools, Bibb County Schools, and Fairfax County Public Schools) and state health agencies purchasing for supported living programs. The mix reflects school music education budgets and therapeutic/activity programs at state facilities.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and surrounding states, with representation also from Maryland, Virginia, and Texas. Muscogee County Schools issued ITB 27-002 for Purchase of Musical Instruments with a response deadline of September 9, 2026, spanning over 600 line items across woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion in student, intermediate, and professional grades from manufacturers including Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl; the contract runs October 20, 2026 through October 19, 2027 with renewal options. Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland) issued IFB 58000-261 for Musical Instruments & Pianos due June 5, 2026, covering 85 line items with contract from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and two optional renewals. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government sought term contracts for discounted musical instruments from MSRP with proposals due August 6, 2026. The code shows active school-district procurement driven by music education program refresh and annual equipment replacement cycles, typically with one-year initial terms and multiple renewal options.
