UNSPSC 60131113: Nabal

A traditional Korean brass instrument which is 1100~1200mm long, 100~200mm thick. It is made from brass, and blown lengthwise.

UNSPSC 60131113 Nabal (Commodity) represents musical instruments purchased by state and local education systems — primarily school districts — for band, orchestra, and music programs. The code captures purchases of woodwind instruments (flutes, clarinets, oboes, saxophones, bassoons), brass instruments (trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas, euphoniums), percussion instruments (timpani, drums, cymbals, marimbas, xylophones), and string instruments (violins, violas, cellos, basses), along with cases, stands, bows, and storage equipment. Solicitations span both large-volume acquisitions of 600+ line items across multiple grade levels and smaller targeted procurements of specific instruments for particular programs. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, though at least one state health agency (Texas HHSC) has used the code for therapeutic musical instruments in state-supported living centers. Most recent opportunities specify student, intermediate, and professional-grade options from established manufacturers such as Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl. Contracts typically run one year with multi-year renewal options and include FOB destination pricing with delivery included. Vendors must carry general liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence) and comply with E-Verify work authorization requirements.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and the Mid-Atlantic states. Muscogee County School District issued ITB 27-002 in August 2026 for over 600 line items across all instrument families with a response deadline of September 9, 2026 and contract award anticipated October 19, 2026; Forsyth County Schools posted band equipment solicitations in July 2026 with response due July 30; Bibb County School District sought band repair services in June 2026 due June 25; and Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland issued IFB 58000-261 in May 2026 for 85 line items due June 5, 2026, with contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and two optional one-year renewals. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government in Virginia solicited term contracts for discounted musical instruments in July 2026 due August 6. The Texas HHSC procurement in August 2026 (due August 19) was narrower in scope — seven specific line items for a state living center — and included consumables and accessories alongside instruments, suggesting the code captures both durable instrument purchases and ancillary supplies.
