UNSPSC 60131102: Trombones

UNSPSC 60131102 Trombones is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of brass band instruments, particularly trombones and related band equipment for school music programs. The work being solicited centers on the supply of new brass and woodwind instruments, band equipment, and repair services to support K-12 music curricula. Recent solicitations from school districts and county boards span new instrument purchases (including trombones as line items within broader band instrument procurements), comprehensive band and orchestra instrument catalogs with fixed discounts, repair and maintenance services covering brass and woodwind equipment, and music equipment supplies. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county school systems—Forsyth County Schools and Bibb County School District in Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools and Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland; Cache County School District in Utah; Jordan School District in Utah; Norwalk Public Schools in Connecticut; Rockwood School District in Missouri; Donna Independent School District and Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District in Texas; and Fulton County Schools in Georgia have all posted multiple opportunities under this code within the past six months. The majority of work is supply-focused rather than service-focused, with school districts establishing term contracts or requirements contracts to source instruments on an ongoing basis rather than one-time purchases.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Forsyth County Schools, Bibb County Schools, Fulton County Schools, Columbia County Board of Commissioners), with secondary activity in Texas (Donna ISD, Los Fresnos CISD), Utah (Cache County, Jordan School District), Maryland (Fairfax County, Wicomico County), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Connecticut (Norwalk Public Schools). Recent representative opportunities include Forsyth County Schools' B26-09 Band Equipment solicitation (IFB, due July 30, 2026) seeking new band instruments with specific make-and-model requirements; Bibb County School District's 26-044 Band Repair Services RFQ (due June 25, 2026) for brass, woodwind, and percussion instrument repair across 38 school locations with seven-business-day completion requirements; Cache County School District's middle school band instrumentation RFQ (due June 13, 2026) for comprehensive woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments with no substitutions permitted; Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government's musical instruments term contract (due August 6, 2026) establishing MSRP discounts; and Fulton County Schools' IFB 173-26 and 198-26 (due February 24 and April 28, 2026) for musical and orchestral instruments and accessories serving 102–130 schools with requirements contracts including four optional one-year renewals. Contracts typically run one school year with renewal options, pricing is firm throughout the term, and districts commonly require three-plus references and background checks on vendor personnel with student contact.
