UNSPSC 60131446: Congas

A traditional Cuban percussion instrument with a diameter of 300mm, made of a hollow wooden bowl with its top covered by animal skin. It is played by both the hand and sticks.

UNSPSC 60131446 Congas is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure congas and related percussion instruments primarily as part of broader band and orchestral instrument purchases supporting music education programs across school districts. Recent solicitations show that schools acquire congas alongside full ranges of woodwind, brass, string, and other percussion instruments for elementary through high school music curricula, with specifications typically requiring new instruments in first-class condition, shop adjustment where applicable, and delivery to district locations. Congas appear in these larger procurement bundles rather than as standalone line items; the code activity reflects school-district demand for comprehensive percussion and band-instrument vendor relationships that can supply multiple instrument families on a requirements-contract basis with firm discounts and warranty support.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fulton County Schools (Georgia), Forsyth County Schools (Georgia), Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland), Rockwood School District (Missouri), and Cobb County School District (Georgia) all soliciting musical instrument and equipment contracts since March 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government (Virginia) have established a joint term contract for musical instruments at MSRP discounts. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) operates a cooperative-purchasing vehicle for musical instruments serving member school institutions across multiple states. Georgia and Missouri school districts account for the heaviest recent activity, with smaller activity in Maryland, Virginia, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Wicomico County Public Schools' IFB 58000-261 (May 8–June 5, 2026) for 85 line items of digital pianos, woodwind, brass, string, and percussion instruments with FOB destination pricing and one-year full replacement warranty; Fulton County Schools' IFB 198-26 (March 26–April 28, 2026) for Musical & Orchestral Instruments and Accessories serving 102 schools with four optional one-year renewals; and Rockwood School District's RFP 2609201 (April 7–May 5, 2026) for string, brass, and woodwind instruments with setup and adjustment services across the 2026-2027 school year. Requirements contracts with guaranteed minimum discounts and multi-year renewal options are standard; vendors typically must maintain metro-area representatives, provide online catalogs, comply with state immigration and security verification (Georgia and Missouri), and deliver on FOB destination terms inclusive of setup and installation.
