UNSPSC 60131107: Saxhorns

UNSPSC 60131107 Saxhorns is a Commodity code covering brass band instruments that state and local school districts procure through open bidding to equip music programs. Recent solicitations show school districts buying saxhorns alongside other brass, woodwind, percussion, and string instruments as part of broader band and orchestra equipment contracts. The Muscogee County School District's August 2026 ITB for over 600 line items of musical instruments spanning student through professional grades from manufacturers including Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl exemplifies the scope—vendors supply instruments on an as-needed basis throughout a contract period, with pricing including delivery to specified locations and automatic renewal options. The Wicomico County Public Schools IFB in May 2026 specified 85 line items of instruments and pianos with one-year warranty support and multi-year renewal terms. Issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts, though the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's August 2026 IFB for instruments and consumables at a state-supported living center shows occasional procurement by state agencies supporting therapeutic services. Repair and maintenance contracts also flow under related codes—Bibb County School District solicited band repair services across 38 school locations in June 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and neighboring states, with recent opportunities posted by Muscogee County Schools, Forsyth County Schools, and Bibb County Schools in Georgia; Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland; Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The Muscogee County IFB closed September 9, 2026, with contract award anticipated October 19, 2026, covering a one-year initial term through October 19, 2027, renewable for up to three years. Wicomico County's IFB closed June 5, 2026, with contract terms running July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals and multiple-vendor awards based on lowest responsive bids. Fairfax County's solicitation for discounted instruments from MSRP closed August 6, 2026. Most solicitations require general liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and compliance with E-Verify work authorization; none identified set-aside restrictions or incumbent vendors.
