UNSPSC 60131405: Drums

UNSPSC 60131405 Drums (Commodity tier) covers percussion and band instruments that state and local governments procure primarily through school districts for music education programs. Recent solicitations show school districts purchasing drums as part of broader band and orchestra instrument packages, often bundled with brass, woodwind, and string instruments rather than as standalone line items. The buying reflects K–12 music curriculum needs across elementary, middle, and high school levels, with district music departments serving as the primary procurement drivers.

School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with repeat buyers including Fulton County Schools (Georgia), Forsyth County Schools (Georgia), Bibb County School District (Georgia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland), Cobb County School District (Georgia), Donna Independent School District (Texas), and Los Fresnos Consolidated ISD (Texas). Solicitation activity also includes cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, which aggregates demand across member school districts. Georgia school districts appear as the most active jurisdictions, though activity spreads across the Southeast, Midwest, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Fulton County Schools' Invitation for Bid 173-26 (issued January 22, 2026, due February 24, 2026) for Musical & Orchestral Instruments and Accessories across 130 schools, with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; Wicomico County Public Schools' Invitation for Bid 58000-261 (issued May 8, 2026, due June 5, 2026) for 85 line items of instruments including drums, timpani, and cymbals with delivery required within 45 days and one-year warranty; and Rockwood School District's RFP for Musical Instruments (issued April 7, 2026, due May 5, 2026) covering string, brass, and woodwind instruments with setup and adjustment services across the 2026–2027 school year. Bibb County School District issued a competitive RFQ for Band Repair Services (issued June 9, 2026, due June 25, 2026) covering brass, percussion, and woodwind instrument repairs across 38 school locations with seven-day turnaround requirements and mobile or in-shop service options.
