UNSPSC 60131447: Bell lyrases

A percussion instrument with regular scales, of which metal bars are placed in the order of scale, and played with a mallet. It is attached with the handle, which enables performance while marching.

UNSPSC 60131447 Bell lyrases, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local procurement activity in the provided recent-opportunities block. The four solicitations posted between May and August 2026 span woodwind, brass, string, and percussion instruments — clarinets, trumpets, violins, timpani, digital pianos, and comprehensive band and orchestra equipment — but none reference bell lyrases. The sourcing pattern across these opportunities shows school districts buying broad instrument catalogs on an as-needed basis, often with multiple-vendor awards tied to lowest responsive and responsible bids, and standing discounts from manufacturers' suggested retail price for future purchases. The code appears to be a narrow commodity designation for a single instrument type that state and local education procurement does not currently solicit in isolation.

School districts in Georgia, Maryland, and Virginia dominate the recent activity. Muscogee County School District (Georgia) posted ITB 27-002 on August 7, 2026, requesting over 600 line items of musical instruments with sealed bids due September 9, 2026, for a one-year contract with renewal options running through October 2029. Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland) issued IFB 58000-261 on May 8, 2026, covering 85 line items of instruments and pianos, with bids due June 5, 2026, and a contract period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. Forsyth County Schools and Fairfax County Public Schools (both posting July 2026) solicited band equipment and general musical instruments on a term-contract basis with discounts from MSRP. No recent opportunities show bell lyrases as a standalone procurement line, and pursue decisions under this code should reflect the mismatch between its nominal scope and current state and local buying patterns.
