UNSPSC 60131106: Bugles

UNSPSC 60131106 Bugles is a Commodity code that captures the actual procurement of musical instruments by state and local school systems and state agencies. Recent opportunities show school districts and health and human services entities buying complete band and orchestra instrument inventories—woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion—as well as individual specialty instruments and repair services. Muscogee County School District's ITB 27-002 illustrates the typical scope: over 600 line items spanning saxophones, trumpets, violins, timpani, and cases, sourced on an as-needed basis with automatic renewal; contract runs October 20, 2026 through October 19, 2027, renewable for up to three years total. Wicomico County Public Schools' IFB 58000-261 in Maryland procures 85 line items of pianos, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings with FOB destination pricing and one-year warranty, running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with two optional renewal years. Issuing bodies include large county school districts (Muscogee, Forsyth, Fairfax, Bibb, Wicomico), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county school systems across multiple states. The code also captures repair services, as shown in Bibb County's band instrument repair RFQ covering brass, percussion, and woodwind repairs across 38 school locations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Muscogee, Forsyth, Bibb counties) and Maryland (Wicomico), with additional solicitations in Texas (Richmond State Supported Living Center), Virginia (Fairfax County), and scattered activity across other states. Representative recent opportunities include Muscogee County School District's ITB 27-002 with response due September 9, 2026; Wicomico County Public Schools' IFB 58000-261 with bids due June 5, 2026; and Bibb County School District's band repair RFQ with quotes due June 25, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017843 for musical instruments and consumables at Richmond State Supported Living Center closed August 19, 2026, with historical fiscal 2025 spending between $25,000 and $50,000 on similar goods as a reference baseline. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government established term contracts for discounted instruments priced from MSRP, with proposals accepted through August 6, 2026.
