UNSPSC 60131302: Clavichords

UNSPSC 60131302 Clavichords, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local activity tagged to it. State and local governments buying under this code are actually procuring comprehensive musical instrument inventories for school music programs and institutional therapeutic services—including woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion, digital and acoustic pianos, cases, stands, and consumables—rather than clavichords specifically. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Forsyth County Schools in Georgia, Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia) and state human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). School districts dominate recent solicitations, typically seeking to establish multi-year term contracts with single or multiple vendors on an as-needed basis, with contracts running 12–24 months and often including automatic renewal options. Vendors must typically provide unit pricing for each instrument, carry general liability insurance with $1,000,000–$2,000,000 per-occurrence limits, and comply with E-Verify and non-debarment requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Maryland, and Virginia. Muscogee County School District issued ITB 27-002 for over 600 line items across all instrument families with bids due September 9, 2026, awarding October 19, 2026, with a one-year initial term renewable up to three years. Wicomico County Public Schools issued IFB 58000-261 for 85 line items of instruments and pianos with bids due June 5, 2026, establishing a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract with two optional one-year renewals and requiring one-year replacement warranty at no additional cost. Forsyth County Schools solicited band equipment pricing by July 30, 2026, with no-substitute requirements. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017843 for seven specific line items including wrist bells, guitar capo, ukulele, and percussion consumables due August 19, 2026, with a September 1, 2026–August 31, 2027 term and optional one-year extension. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government established a discount-pricing term contract for musical instruments across their departments due August 6, 2026. The code shows no specific recent clavichord solicitations.
