UNSPSC 60131520: Drum stick

A specially designed stick, usually made out of quality wood, used for hitting drums.

UNSPSC 60131520 Drum stick (Commodity) covers percussion mallets and drumsticks that state and local school districts procure as part of broader music program equipment purchases. Recent opportunities show school districts buying drum sticks alongside comprehensive instrument acquisitions rather than as standalone line items; when solicited independently, they appear as small components within larger music furniture, shelving, and accessory orders. Issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts—Fontana Unified School District (California), Columbia County School District (Georgia), Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (Texas), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland), and West Ottawa Public Schools (Michigan)—with one procurement from Fairfax County Government alongside Fairfax County Public Schools establishing MSRP-discount term contracts. The school-district focus reflects the code's primary use case: equipping band, orchestra, and percussion programs across elementary through high school levels.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with notable recent solicitations in Georgia, Texas, Maryland, and California. West Ottawa Public Schools (Michigan) issued an RFP for marching band drums, drumheads, and cymbals due June 4, 2026. Muscogee County School District (Georgia) posted an ITB for over 600 line items of musical instruments including timpani, snare drums, bass drums, and cymbals with bids due September 9, 2026. Fontana Unified School District (California) issued IFB 26/27-0006 on October 5, 2026, for 139 line items spanning instruments and accessories including percussion equipment and drum-related items across 45 school sites, with contract award anticipated November 5, 2026, and delivery required by June 30, 2027. Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland) released IFB 58000-261 due June 5, 2026, for 85 line items including drums, cymbals, timpani, and marimbas with a one-year term from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and optional two-year renewals. These procurements typically require FOB destination delivery within 30–60 days, one-year warranties, and unit pricing that remains firm for contract renewal periods.
