UNSPSC 60131421: Jabara

A traditional Korean percussion instrument, which is also called Bara, Bahl and Jaegeum. It is a 250~450mm across, plate-shaped instrument made from brass. It is played by crashing one into another.

UNSPSC 60131421 Jabara (Commodity) covers musical instruments and related equipment that state and local school districts procure to support K–12 music education programs. Recent solicitations show school districts buying full assortments of orchestral and band instruments in multiple performance grades — woodwinds (saxophones, clarinets, oboes, flutes), brass (trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas, euphoniums), strings (violins, violas, cellos, double basses), and percussion (timpani, marimbas, xylophones, drums, cymbals) — alongside cases, stands, bows, storage racks, and pianos. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts, which solicit under ITB and IFB notice types, typically establishing term contracts running one to three years with automatic renewal options and FOB-destination pricing that includes delivery. Vendors must carry general liability insurance (customarily $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), provide one-year warranty support on instruments, and comply with federal work authorization verification and debarment checks. School districts often reserve the right to award to multiple vendors by lowest responsive bid per item or category.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and the Mid-Atlantic. Muscogee County School District (Georgia) issued ITB 27-002 in August 2026 with response due September 9, 2026, spanning over 600 line items across all instrument families with contract award anticipated October 19, 2026; Forsyth County Schools (Georgia) posted B26-09 in July 2026 requiring exact manufacturer and model specifications with no alternates permitted; Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland) issued IFB 58000-261 due June 5, 2026, for 85 line items including pianos, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals and one-year full replacement warranty required; and Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government (Virginia) solicited term contracts for MSRP discounts due August 6, 2026. The code shows steady activity across school district purchasing cycles, with emphasis on comprehensive annual or multi-year instrument renewal and replacement budgets to support music curricula.
