UNSPSC 60131333 Angel, a Commodity code, encompasses orchestral and band musical instruments that state and local school districts procure for music education programs — specifically woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion, pianos, and related accessories such as cases, stands, and bows. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies under this code, with recent solicitations spanning Georgia, Virginia, and Maryland. The scope of work involves supply agreements that establish unit pricing or percentage discounts from manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for as-needed procurement throughout a contract period, typically one to three years, with vendors expected to source new instruments meeting specified make-and-model requirements or student, intermediate, and professional-grade options. Vendors must provide FOB destination delivery, carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and offer warranty support; contracts award to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bids, often on a per-item or per-category basis.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Virginia school districts. Muscogee County School District issued ITB 27-002 in August 2026 for over 600 line items across all instrument categories, with sealed bids due September 9, 2026 and contract award anticipated October 19, 2026, running through October 2027 with automatic one-year renewals up to three years total. Forsyth County Schools posted solicitation B26-09 in mid-July 2026 requiring exact make-and-model specifications with no alternates, bids due July 30, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government solicited term contracts for discounted musical instruments in July 2026, proposals due August 6, 2026, establishing pricing for all departments and activities. Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland issued IFB 58000-261 in May 2026 for 85 line items including pianos and instruments across all categories, sealed bids due June 5, 2026, contract running July 2026 through June 2027 with two optional one-year renewals, awarding to multiple vendors and requiring one-year full replacement warranty at no additional charge.
