UNSPSC 60131452 Musical shaker, a Commodity code, covers percussion and rhythm instruments that school districts and regional purchasing cooperatives buy as part of band, orchestra, and general music education procurement. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts sourcing shakershakers alongside comprehensive band and orchestral instrument suites—principally through districts seeking new instruments for music programs, repair services for existing equipment, and catalog discounts on replacement stock. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county school systems, with occasional cooperative purchasing arrangements serving multiple member districts. Fulton County Schools in Georgia appears multiple times as a repeat buyer, issuing separate bids in January and March 2026 for Musical & Orchestral Instruments and Accessories; Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, Forsyth County Schools in Georgia, Bibb County School District in Georgia, and Rockwood School District in Missouri also issued multi-instrument procurements in the same window. The work ranges from one-time capital purchases of new instruments with setup and delivery to ongoing term contracts offering catalog discounts and as-needed supply arrangements.
