UNSPSC 60131202: Oboes

UNSPSC 60131202 Oboes is a Commodity code covering individual oboe instruments and closely related woodwind products that state and local school districts purchase as part of broader music education procurement. The work being solicited under this code reflects district and public agency acquisition of student, intermediate, and professional-grade oboes from manufacturers including Yamaha and Selmer, typically bundled with purchase orders spanning dozens of other band and orchestra instruments—clarinets, saxophones, flutes, trumpets, trombones, percussion, and strings—alongside cases, stands, and maintenance supplies. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with independent school districts in Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, and Texas soliciting oboes and related woodwinds as line items within larger music program equipment buys. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also appears as an occasional buyer, procuring therapeutic musical instruments including a ukulele and percussion items for supported living centers. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in Texas, Maryland, and Virginia over the past three months.

Representative recent opportunities include Muscogee County School District's ITB 27-002 (posted August 7, 2026, due September 9, 2026) requesting bids on over 600 line items spanning all instrument families with oboes specified among woodwinds, contract running October 20, 2026 through October 19, 2027 with automatic renewal options; Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland's IFB 58000-261 (posted May 8, 2026, due June 5, 2026) encompassing 85 line items including oboes as a specific woodwind category, contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals; and Forsyth County Schools' B26-09 band equipment solicitation (posted July 14, 2026, due July 30, 2026) requiring pricing on new band instruments to exact manufacturer and model specifications with no alternates permitted. Most school district opportunities use IFB or ITB notice types with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and Net 30 payment upon inspection and acceptance.
