UNSPSC 60131329: Shanz

A Mongolian string musical instrument.

UNSPSC 60131329 Shanz (Commodity) covers new and used musical instruments procured by state and local school districts, counties, and regional purchasing cooperatives. Recent solicitations show school districts buying band and orchestra instruments, pianos, strings, brass, woodwind, and percussion equipment directly for instructional programs, along with instrument repair services on an as-needed basis. State and local buyers in this code span independent school districts (Forsyth County Schools in Georgia, Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Harlingen Consolidated ISD in Texas), large county school systems (Fulton County Schools and Cobb County School District in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), county commissioners (Columbia County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and regional cooperative purchasing entities (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas).

Activity concentrates in Georgia, with Fulton County Schools appearing multiple times across January–March 2026 for orchestral instruments and accessories via IFB, and Cobb County Schools, Columbia County, and Forsyth County Schools each issuing separate band and orchestra solicitations in April–July 2026. Maryland and Missouri school districts issued parallel procurements—Wicomico County Public Schools posted an IFB for pianos and 85 line items of wind and percussion instruments (bid due June 5, 2026) with warranty and multi-vendor awards planned, and Rockwood School District solicited both instruments (RFB due May 5, 2026) and instrument repair services (RFP due May 12, 2026, five-year term through July 2031). Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government jointly sought term discounts from MSRP for musical instruments across all departments (RFQ due August 6, 2026). Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued a catalog discount RFP for musical instruments, service, equipment, and supplies to member districts (estimated $4.1 million annual spend). Most recent school district solicitations are RFPs or RFQs with response deadlines between late April and early August 2026, with awards to lowest-priced responsive bidders; cooperative purchasing opportunities show larger estimated values and multi-year terms.
