UNSPSC 60131202: Oboes

UNSPSC 60131202 Oboes is a Commodity code covering woodwind instruments that state and local school districts actively procure as part of broader band and orchestra programs. State and local governments are buying oboes and other woodwind instruments through competitive solicitations—typically bundled within larger musical-instrument procurements rather than as standalone line items. Recent opportunities show school districts (Forsyth County Schools in Georgia, Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Cobb County School District in Georgia, Rockwood School District in Missouri, and Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District in Texas) issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for comprehensive band and orchestra instrument packages that include oboes alongside clarinets, flutes, saxophones, and brass or percussion instruments. Vendor qualifications typically require the ability to supply new instruments meeting National Association for Music Educators specifications, shop adjustment and setup services for stringed instruments where applicable, online catalog access, and local service representatives in the region. Contract structures commonly feature firm unit pricing, F.O.B. destination delivery, one-year warranties with replacement of defective goods at no cost, and base terms with optional renewal periods ranging from one to five years.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Forsyth County Schools, Cobb County School District, Fulton County Schools, Columbia County Board of Commissioners), with additional solicitation activity in Maryland (Wicomico County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Texas (Donna ISD, Los Fresnos Consolidated ISD, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and Connecticut (Norwalk Public Schools). Forsyth County Schools issued a competitive bid (B26-09) due July 30, 2026, specifying exact make-and-model line items with no alternates permitted. Wicomico County Public Schools issued an IFB (58000-261) due June 5, 2026, for 85 line items including oboes, flutes, clarinets, and other woodwind instruments with delivery within 45 days and multiple-vendor awards at lowest responsive bids. Fulton County Schools issued IFBs (No. 198-26 and 173-26) due April 28 and February 24, 2026, respectively, seeking contractors to furnish instruments across 102 and 130 schools with guaranteed minimum discounts and online catalog capabilities. Rockwood School District in Missouri issued an RFP (2609201) due May 5, 2026, for string, brass, and woodwind instruments to serve 19,000 students across 29 school buildings. The code shows steady procurement velocity across school-district jurisdictions with no standout repeat patterns beyond Fulton County Schools' multiple concurrent solicitations for overlapping scope.
