UNSPSC 60131104: Saxophones

UNSPSC 60131104 Saxophones is a Commodity code covering the procurement of saxophones and related woodwind instruments by state and local school districts and government agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing saxophones as part of broader musical instrument procurements—typically alongside clarinets, oboes, flutes, and other band or orchestra equipment—in student, intermediate, and professional grades from manufacturers such as Yamaha and Selmer. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Muscogee County School District, Forsyth County Schools, Wicomico County Public Schools, Bibb County School District, and Fairfax County Public Schools all soliciting instruments in the past four months. Texas Health and Human Services Commission also procured musical instruments for active treatment services at a state-supported living center. A small number of solicitations also target band repair services, which sit outside the Commodity's nominal scope.

Georgia and Maryland school districts account for the most recent activity. Muscogee County School District issued ITB 27-002 on August 7, 2026 (due September 9, 2026) for over 600 line items spanning woodwinds including saxophones, brass, strings, percussion, and ancillary items, with contract award anticipated October 19, 2026 and a one-year initial term through October 19, 2027 renewable for up to two additional years. Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland issued IFB 58000-261 on May 8, 2026 (due June 5, 2026) for 85 line items including saxophones and other instruments, covering July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. Forsyth County Schools in Georgia posted two related solicitations in mid-July 2026 (due July 30) for band equipment with specific make-and-model requirements. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government in Virginia solicited term contracts for discounted musical instruments from MSRP with proposals due August 6, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission's August 4, 2026 IFB HHS0017843 (due August 19) included a Lanikai Baritone Ukulele alongside other instruments and consumables for Richmond State Supported Living Center, with historical fiscal year 2025 spending in the $25,000–$50,000 range.
