UNSPSC 60131223 Sogeum is a Commodity code that represents the purchase of musical instruments by state and local school districts. The code captures woodwind instruments (saxophones, clarinets, oboes, flutes), brass instruments (trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas, euphoniums), string instruments (violins, violas, cellos, double basses), percussion instruments (timpani, marimbas, xylophones, drums, cymbals), and ancillary items including cases, stands, bows, and storage racks in student, intermediate, and professional grades. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, soliciting both comprehensive multi-category instrument sets and targeted band equipment purchases. Recent opportunities show school systems seeking to establish term contracts with unit pricing on as-needed bases, often with automatic renewal provisions and single or multiple award structures based on lowest responsive and responsible bids for individual items or grouped lots.
