UNSPSC 60131453: Wood gong

A device that is used to pound and make sound for chanting sutra or gathering people. Wood is made like a bell by carving it in round shape with its center carved out in a way of attaching the handle in ring-shape.

UNSPSC 60131453 Wood gong is a Commodity code covering percussion and rhythm instruments procured by state and local school districts and health-and-human-services agencies primarily as inputs to music education, therapy, and treatment programs. Recent solicitations show school districts buying wood gongs and related percussion instruments (timpani, marimbas, xylophones, drums, cymbals, wrist bells) alongside brass, woodwind, and string instruments as part of comprehensive band and orchestra equipment acquisitions, while a state health-and-human-services commission procured percussion dampening gels and a baritone ukulele in support of active treatment services. The work involves sourcing new instruments and ancillary items such as cases, stands, storage racks, and tuning equipment from established manufacturers including Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl, with vendors typically providing unit pricing on a fixed or discounted-from-MSRP basis and delivering FOB destination. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from county school systems and state health-and-human-services agencies.

The code sees consistent recent activity across Georgia, Texas, Virginia, and Maryland. Muscogee County School District (Georgia) issued an ITB on August 7, 2026 for over 600 line items of musical instruments across woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion with a September 9, 2026 response deadline and a one-year contract term starting October 20, 2026. Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland) solicited 85 line items of instruments and pianos via IFB 58000-261 with a June 5, 2026 deadline and a July 1, 2026 start date. Bibb County School District (Georgia) requested band repair services via RFQ on June 9, 2026 covering brass, percussion, and woodwind instrument repairs across 38 school locations. Forsyth County Schools (Georgia) and Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government (Virginia) issued separate band equipment and musical instrument term-contract solicitations in July and early August 2026 respectively. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured seven line items including percussion accessories under IFB HHS0017843 by August 19, 2026. Contract terms typically run one year with optional renewals, and awards commonly go to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid.
