UNSPSC 60131431: Nodo

A Korean traditional percussion instrument with two drums of 50mm in diameter and 310mm in length crossed with each other and place on the top of a long wooden pole. It is played in a way that a player leans the pole on one side and turns it from side to side, making the leather straps hit on both sides of the drum and producing sound.

UNSPSC 60131431 Nodo is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure musical instruments for school music programs, typically as multi-year standing orders covering woodwind, brass, string, and percussion instruments along with ancillary items such as cases, stands, and bows. Purchasing is driven primarily by school districts acquiring student, intermediate, and professional-grade instruments from established manufacturers including Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl. The scope includes both comprehensive multi-year framework contracts establishing unit pricing or percentage discounts from manufacturers' suggested retail price (MSRP) and event-driven purchases for specific instrument needs. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with sourcing structured to allow as-needed replenishment throughout the contract term on a firm-pricing basis.
