UNSPSC 60131415 Banghyang, a Commodity code, covers musical instruments that state and local school districts procure for band, orchestra, and general music programs. State and local governments buy woodwind instruments (saxophones, clarinets, oboes, flutes), brass instruments (trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas, euphoniums), string instruments (violins, violas, cellos, double basses), percussion instruments (timpani, marimbas, xylophones, drums, cymbals), and ancillary items including cases, stands, bows, and storage racks in student, intermediate, and professional grades. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, issuing ITBs and RFQs for single-year and multi-year term contracts with automatic renewal options. Vendors must provide unit pricing on an FOB-destination basis with delivery costs included, carry general liability insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence minimum, and comply with E-Verify work authorization and non-debarment certification. Districts reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid for each item or group of items, and successful bidders typically provide one-year warranty coverage at no additional charge.
