UNSPSC 60131463 Ronroco, a Commodity code, describes musical instruments that state and local governments procure for school music programs, therapeutic and recreational settings, and performing-arts education. Recent solicitations reveal that school districts dominate purchasing under this code, buying complete ensemble instruments in volume — including woodwinds (clarinets, saxophones, oboes, flutes), brass (trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas, euphoniums), strings (violins, violas, cellos, basses), and percussion (timpani, marimbas, xylophones, drums, cymbals) — typically in student, intermediate, and professional grades from manufacturers such as Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, and Pearl. Procurement also includes ancillary items such as cases, stands, bows, and storage racks. Issuing bodies include school districts (Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Forsyth County Schools in Georgia, Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Bibb County School District in Georgia), county governments (Fairfax County Government, Virginia), and state human-services agencies supporting therapeutic activities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options, award multiple vendors on a lowest-responsive-bid basis for individual line items or item groups, and require FOB destination delivery with Net 30 payment terms.
