UNSPSC 60131303: Guitars

UNSPSC 60131303 Guitars is a Commodity-tier code covering the procurement of guitars and related stringed instruments by state and local education agencies. The code reflects what school districts actually buy: student, intermediate, and professional-grade guitars sourced as-needed throughout a contract period, often alongside complementary percussion, brass, woodwind, and string instruments to support music education programs. Recent activity shows school districts issuing ITBs and IFBs requesting unit pricing across extensive instrument line items, with vendors expected to supply to multiple school locations under FOB destination terms, firm pricing structures, and multi-year contract periods with automatic renewal options.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix soliciting under this code. Muscogee County School District (Georgia) posted ITB 27-002 in August 2026 requesting over 600 line items across woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion with a response date of September 9, 2026 and contract renewal through October 2029. Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland) issued IFB 58000-261 in May 2026 for 85 line items spanning digital and acoustic pianos, woodwinds, brass, percussion, strings, and guitars, with bids due June 5, 2026, contract run July 2026 through June 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals, and award to multiple vendors on lowest responsive bid. Forsyth County Schools (Georgia) posted band equipment solicitations (B26-09) in July 2026 with July 30, 2026 response dates requiring exact manufacturer and model specifications with no alternates permitted. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government (Virginia) solicited term contracts for percentage discounts from MSRP on musical instruments with an August 6, 2026 response date. Georgia and Virginia account for the most recent activity, with Maryland and Texas also represented.
