UNSPSC 60131237: Pan pipe

A type of wind instrument made up of multiple hollow tubes of different lengths. Flute-like sounds are produced by blowing. There are different types such as Zanka, Malta, chulis, among others.

UNSPSC 60131237 Pan pipe is a Commodity code that encompasses a narrow product line within the broader musical instruments market. State and local procurement activity under this code, however, shows minimal direct solicitation for pan pipes specifically. Instead, recent opportunities cluster around comprehensive band and orchestra instrument procurement, repair services, and catalog discount arrangements where pan pipes would represent one item among dozens or hundreds in larger musical instrument and supplies contracts. School districts dominate as issuing bodies—Forsyth County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bibb County School District, Wicomico County Public Schools, Rockwood School District, Cobb County School District, Fulton County Schools, Donna Independent School District, Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District, and Norwalk Public Schools all posted band, orchestra, and music supply solicitations between January and July 2026. A few county government entities appear as secondary buyers (Columbia County Board of Commissioners in Georgia for a grand piano; Fairfax County Government alongside its schools). Regional cooperative purchasing vehicles also participate—Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas managed two musical instrument catalog discount bids in 2022–2023 with estimated annual expenditures of $4 million-plus across member institutions.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Forsyth, Cobb, Fulton, Columbia Counties) and Texas (Donna ISD, Los Fresnos CISD, Region 7 Cooperative), with additional activity in Maryland, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include Forsyth County Schools' B26-09 Band Equipment bid (IFB, due July 30, 2026), Wicomico County Public Schools' IFB 58000-261 for Musical Instruments & Pianos (85 line items spanning digital pianos, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings; due June 5, 2026), and Rockwood School District's two-part procurement for musical instrument repairs (RFP 2609202 across four service categories, due May 12, 2026) and instruments for 2026–2027 (RFB 2609201, due May 5, 2026). Fulton County Schools issued two identical IFBs for Musical & Orchestral Instruments and Accessories (IFB No. 173-26 due February 24, 2026, and IFB No. 198-26 due April 28, 2026) covering 102–130 schools with requirements contracts featuring up to four optional renewal periods. No single pan pipe procurement appears in the recent-opportunities block; the code sees activity primarily as a line item within multi-instrument school music program acquisitions rather than as a standalone commodity.
