UNSPSC 60131112: Flugel horns

UNSPSC 60131112 Flugel horns, a Commodity code, describes brass band instruments that state and local school districts and supported-living facilities are procuring as part of broad musical-instrument purchasing programs. Recent activity shows school districts buying individual flugel horns alongside saxophones, clarinets, trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas, euphoniums, and percussion instruments as part of comprehensive band and orchestra programs. The scope spans student, intermediate, and professional-grade instruments from manufacturers such as Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Muscogee County Schools, Forsyth County Schools, Wicomico County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools), county school systems (Bibb County School District), and state-supported health facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). School districts dominate the activity, with multiple jurisdictions simultaneously procuring band and orchestra equipment through ITB, IFB, and term-contract vehicles typically spanning annual renewable terms.
