UNSPSC 60131516: Electronic instrument tuner

A device which enables an instrument to be accurately tuned using a visual display.

UNSPSC 60131516 Electronic instrument tuner is a Commodity code that encompasses tuning and calibration equipment for musical instruments, though the recent state and local solicitations using this code reveal activity focused more broadly on musical instruments, sheet music, supplies, and repair services. School districts and county education systems are the primary buyers, soliciting through RFP, RFQ, and IFB notices to establish term contracts and approved vendor lists for discounted catalog access to comprehensive instrument inventories spanning woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion, and keyboards. Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland) issued an IFB in May 2026 seeking 85 line items of musical instruments and pianos with delivery within 45 days; Fulton County Schools (Georgia) has issued multiple IFBs since January 2026 for musical and orchestral instruments and accessories across 102 to 130 schools, requiring shop-adjusted stringed instruments and guaranteed minimum discounts; and the School District of Manatee County (Florida) posted a solicitation in January 2026 for instruments, sheet music, supplies, and repair services on a five-year contract with renewal option. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government (Virginia) established a term contract for musical instruments at MSRP discounts in July 2026, while West Ottawa Public Schools (Michigan) issued an RFP in May 2026 for marching band drums and percussion equipment with sealed bids.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, and California, with repeat solicitation patterns in Fulton County Schools and broad participation from school districts in multiple states. Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear regularly—Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) issued catalog discount bids for musical instruments and supplies for member institutions in 2023 with estimated expenditures of $4.087 million and 36 respondents, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited educational materials and supplies with music categories included. Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District (Texas) sought music supplies, instruments, and related services including maintenance and repairs through RFP in February 2026, while Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (Texas) posted a separate music equipment procurement for string orchestra programs with an identical February 2026 deadline. Contract awards typically span one to five years with renewal options, demand firm percentage discounts from catalog pricing or MSRP, and require proof of insurance, E-Verify compliance, and minimum references from prior school or governmental clients.
