UNSPSC 60131507: Percussion instrument accessory

UNSPSC 60131507 Percussion instrument accessory, a Commodity code, covers percussion-related items, stands, cases, bows, and consumables that school districts and state agencies procure alongside or in support of primary instrument purchases. Recent state and local opportunities under this code center on school district band and music programs, which are the primary buyers, though a state health and human services commission also solicited percussion accessories for therapeutic music services. The work consists of supplying specified percussion equipment—drums, cymbals, timpani, mallets, tuners, dampening gels, and related ancillaries—either as standalone line items within larger instrument bids or as part of comprehensive music-program supply contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts (Muscogee County School District, Forsyth County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Wicomico County Public Schools, Bibb County School District) and state-level agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). School districts typically structure these procurements as multi-year term contracts with automatic renewal options, pricing student through professional-grade options from manufacturers including Yamaha, Pearl, Dunlop, and others, and reserving the right to award single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive bid.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Virginia, with activity also in Texas and Maryland. Representative opportunities include Muscogee County School District's ITB 27-002 (over 600 line items across all instrument families plus ancillaries, bids due September 9, 2026, running through October 19, 2027 with automatic one-year renewals to three years), Wicomico County Public Schools' IFB 58000-261 (85 line items including percussion instruments and pianos, bids due June 5, 2026, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals), and Bibb County School District's RFQ for band repair services across brass, percussion, and woodwind instruments (quotes due June 25, 2026, one-year term with four-year renewal option). Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017843 (seven line items including percussion accessories, bids due August 19, 2026, historical fiscal year 2025 value $25,000–$50,000, September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with one optional year) represents an outlier use case outside K–12 music education.
