UNSPSC 60131400: Percussion instruments

UNSPSC 60131400 Percussion instruments is a Class code that encompasses the procurement of percussion and other musical instruments, accessory items, and related repair services by state and local education agencies. Recent solicitations show school districts buying complete instrument inventories—timpani, marimbas, xylophones, snare drums, bass drums, and cymbals alongside woodwinds, brass, and strings—in quantities ranging from dozens to hundreds of line items. Muscogee County School District's ITB 27-002 exemplifies the scope: over 600 line items spanning student, intermediate, and professional grades from manufacturers including Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl, with cases, stands, and storage racks included. The code also captures repair services; Bibb County School District's RFQ solicits ongoing repair coverage for brass, percussion, and woodwind instruments across 38 school locations, with vendors required to complete most repairs within seven business days. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies under this code, though the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017843 shows state health agencies buying percussion instruments and consumables to support active treatment services. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government jointly pursue term contracts establishing MSRP discounts across both entities' departments.
