UNSPSC 60131461 Woodbox is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure musical instruments, primarily for school music programs. Recent solicitations show school districts are buying new band and orchestral instruments across all families—woodwinds (saxophones, clarinets, flutes, oboes), brass (trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas), strings (violins, violas, cellos, guitars), and percussion (timpani, drums, cymbals, marimbas)—from both named manufacturers (Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, Pearl) and as-needed stock. The mix of issuing bodies is dominated by county and district school systems, with occasional participation from state health and human services agencies procuring instruments for therapeutic or recreation programs. Most solicitations follow an ITB or IFB structure with firm unit pricing on FOB destination terms, multi-vendor award flexibility, and contract terms running one year with renewal options. School districts typically require general liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), proof of non-debarment, and E-Verify compliance. A secondary stream—also tagged to this code—involves band instrument repair services, which school districts solicit separately as maintenance contracts with delivery-performance and turnaround-time requirements.
