UNSPSC 60131205: Musical cornets

UNSPSC 60131205 Musical cornets is a Commodity code that covers individual brass instruments purchased by state and local school districts to support music education programs. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring brass and woodwind instruments, percussion equipment, strings, and ancillary accessories (cases, stands, bows, storage racks) in student, intermediate, and professional grades, typically as part of broader band and orchestra procurement initiatives rather than cornets in isolation. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Forsyth County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, and Bibb County School District in Georgia are active recent solicitors. One non-school issuer, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, sourced musical instruments and consumables for active treatment services at a state supported living center. The mix reflects heavy concentration among K–12 music education programs, with school districts representing the dominant customer base.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with Georgia (Muscogee, Forsyth, Bibb counties), Virginia (Fairfax County), Maryland (Wicomico County), and Texas (HHS Commission) showing the most recent solicitation volume. Muscogee County School District posted ITB 27-002 in August 2026 requesting bids on over 600 line items across brass, woodwinds, strings, and percussion with sealed bids due September 9, 2026, and contract award anticipated October 19, 2026; the one-year contract runs October 20, 2026 through October 19, 2027 with automatic renewal options. Wicomico County Public Schools issued IFB 58000-261 in May 2026 for 85 line items including pianos, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings, with bids due June 5, 2026 and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government established a term contract for musical instruments at MSRP discounts with proposals due August 6, 2026. Bibb County School District solicited band repair services in June 2026 as a separate vehicle supporting instrument maintenance. The code sees steady procurement activity but opportunities often bundle cornets and other brass instruments within comprehensive musical-instrument RFPs and ITBs rather than as standalone line items.
