UNSPSC 60131102: Trombones

UNSPSC 60131102 Trombones is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure brass band instruments for school music programs, primarily through school district purchasing offices. Recent solicitations show school districts buying trombones as part of comprehensive band instrument inventories spanning woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings in student, intermediate, and professional grades from manufacturers such as Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl. Purchases typically occur on an as-needed basis throughout contract periods or in bulk for new school openings, with vendors required to provide unit pricing and deliver FOB destination. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Forsyth County Schools (Georgia), Cache County School District (Utah), Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland), and Bibb County School District (Georgia) all appear in recent records—occasionally paired with county government entities or state-supported facilities seeking instruments for therapeutic or educational programs.
