UNSPSC 60131324: Ukelele

A small stringed instrument of the lute family. It consists of 4 strings which are made from gut or nylon tied on a wooden resonance board. It has a narrow pitch, so it is generally played to accompany a song rather than play the melody itself.

UNSPSC 60131324 Ukulele is a Commodity code covering individual stringed instruments and related accessories that state and local governments procure primarily for music education programs in K–12 schools. Recent solicitations show school districts buying ukuleles as part of broader band and orchestra instrument purchases, alongside woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings, often bundled with cases, stands, and ancillary supplies. The code also appears in special-purpose procurements, such as Texas Health and Human Services Commission's purchase of a Lanikai Baritone Ukulele for active treatment services at a state-supported living center. 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—along with occasional state health and human services agencies. School districts dominate the activity and represent the primary market for this code.
