UNSPSC 60131441: Glockenspiel

A percussion instrument with a regular musical scale. It is made up of metal bars which vary in size and tone. It is hit and played by a mallet. It covers three octaves.

UNSPSC 60131441 Glockenspiel, a Commodity code, covers orchestral and band percussion instruments that state and local governments procure for music education programs in school districts. Recent solicitations show that school districts are buying glockenspiels as part of broader musical instrument acquisitions spanning woodwind, brass, string, and percussion families, sourced from manufacturers including Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl. Work under this code centers on supplying new instruments in student, intermediate, and professional grades, often bundled with cases, stands, and storage racks on an as-needed basis throughout multi-year contract terms. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts — Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Forsyth County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland have all posted recent opportunities — with some county governments co-procuring alongside school districts. Vendors must meet standard insurance requirements (general liability at $1,000,000 per occurrence minimum, workers' compensation coverage, and umbrellas ranging to $2,000,000), provide one-year warranty support in some cases, and comply with E-Verify and non-debarment certification.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Muscogee County and Forsyth County Schools), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools and County Government), and Maryland (Wicomico County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include Muscogee County School District's ITB 27-002 for over 600 line items of musical instruments with sealed bids due September 9, 2026, contract award anticipated October 19, 2026, and one-year renewal through October 19, 2029; Wicomico County Public Schools' IFB 58000-261 for 85 line items including pianos and percussion instruments with bids due June 5, 2026, contract running July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, with optional two one-year renewals; and Fairfax County Public Schools and County Government's term contract for discounted musical instruments from MSRP with proposals due August 6, 2026.
