UNSPSC 60131234: Clave

A musical instrument that is made with a pair of cylindrical wood stick of the length of 20 cm and thickness of 2.5cm and this percussion is widely used in Latin American music.

UNSPSC 60131234 Clave, a Commodity-level code, covers the purchase of musical instruments by state and local governments, including orchestral and band instruments (woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion), ancillary items such as cases and stands, and piano purchases. Recent solicitations show school districts acquiring instruments across a broad range of manufacturers and grade levels—student, intermediate, and professional—as well as consumables and repair services integrated with instrument procurement. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Muscogee County Schools, Forsyth County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Wicomico County Public Schools, and Bibb County Schools in the recent record) alongside one state-level health and human services agency. School districts solicit under this code both for periodic stock replenishment through multi-year term contracts and through single-year agreements with automatic renewal options. The code also captures allied services including instrument repair and refurbishment.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions: Georgia (Muscogee County, Forsyth County, Bibb County), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Maryland (Wicomico County). Representative recent opportunities include Muscogee County School District's ITB 27-002 (closed September 9, 2026, spanning over 600 line items in woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion across multiple manufacturers), Wicomico County Public Schools' IFB 58000-261 for 85 line items of instruments and pianos (closed June 5, 2026, with contract award to multiple vendors and one-year warranty support), Bibb County School District's RFQ for band repair services (closed June 25, 2026, covering repair across 38 school locations with seven-day turnaround and preference for vendors within 250 miles), and Fairfax County Public Schools and County Government's term contract for MSRP-discounted instruments (closed August 6, 2026). Contracts typically run one year with renewal options extending two to four years, and awards are commonly split among multiple vendors based on lowest responsive bids.
