UNSPSC 60131327: Yochin

A mongolian string musical instrument.

UNSPSC 60131327 Yochin is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure new musical instruments—woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion, and ancillary gear such as cases, stands, and bows—typically for school music programs on multi-year term contracts with as-needed ordering. Recent solicitations span student through professional grade instruments from manufacturers including Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl, with vendors expected to furnish unit pricing across 85 to over 600 line items per solicitation and deliver FOB destination. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix; Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Forsyth County Schools (Georgia), and Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland) have posted invitations in the past four months, while Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government (Virginia) jointly solicited a discounted MSRP term contract. Contracts typically run one to three years with automatic renewal options, require general liability and workers' compensation insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range, and reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible basis.

Georgia and Virginia school districts drive the recent geographic activity, with Maryland also represented. The Muscogee County School District issued Invitation for Bid 27-002 for over 600 line items across all major instrument families, due September 9, 2026, with contract award anticipated October 19, 2026 and a one-year initial term through October 19, 2027, renewable for up to two additional one-year periods. Forsyth County Schools posted two parallel solicitations (B26-09) due July 30, 2026, requiring exact make-and-model matching with no alternates permitted. Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland issued Invitation for Bid 58000-261 for 85 line items including digital and acoustic pianos, all instrument families, and accessory catalogs with fixed percentage discounts, with sealed bids due June 5, 2026, and contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with two optional renewals; successful vendors must provide one year of full replacement warranty at no additional charge.
