UNSPSC 60131319: Haegeum

A traditional Korean string instrument whose resonance board is made of 600~700mm long, 90~100mm wide bamboo or paulownia wood. Its 2 strings are made of silk-woven threads and played with a horsehair string stick. Its sound tone is not settled, but depends on the place the hand is put on and the degree of strength of the stick.

UNSPSC 60131319 Haegeum, a Commodity code, describes orchestral and band string instruments—specifically bowed and plucked strings like violins, violas, cellos, basses, and guitars—that state and local governments procure primarily through school districts and special-purpose agencies to support music education and therapeutic programs. State and local buyers use this code to solicit individual instruments and bundles across student, intermediate, and professional-grade tiers, often as part of larger musical-instrument procurement cycles. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Forsyth County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland), with one procurement from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Richmond State Supported Living Center for active treatment services. School districts dominate the recent activity and typically solicit instruments on a rolling supply basis with one-year renewable terms, unit pricing across multiple line items, and delivery FOB destination. Contracts award to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid and require standard commercial general liability insurance, workers' compensation, and E-Verify compliance.

Geographic activity centers in Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Muscogee County School District's ITB 27-002 Purchase of Musical Instruments (response deadline September 9, 2026, covering over 600 line items across woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion with contract award anticipated October 19, 2026 through October 19, 2027); Wicomico County Public Schools' IFB 58000-261 Musical Instruments & Pianos (sealed bids due June 5, 2026, spanning 85 line items including pianos, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings with July 1, 2026 contract start and two optional one-year renewals); and Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government's solicitation 2000004389 Musical Instruments (proposals due August 6, 2026, establishing term contracts for discounted instruments from manufacturer's suggested retail price across all departments).
