UNSPSC 60131800: Music and dance accessories

UNSPSC 60131800 Music and dance accessories, a Class code, encompasses the purchase of musical instruments, accessory equipment, and related items that school districts acquire to support K–12 music education programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy brass, woodwind, string, and percussion instruments; cases, stands, bows, reeds, and strings; music shelving and storage systems; sheet music; and audio equipment such as mixers, powered speakers, and keyboards. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county school systems, with occasional joint solicitations involving county government; these jurisdictions typically source across multiple grade levels and school sites to maintain district-wide music programs.

The geographic spread includes California, Georgia, Texas, Virginia, and Michigan, with recent activity concentrated in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions.
