UNSPSC 60131802: Rhythm sticks or lummi sticks

UNSPSC 60131802 Rhythm sticks or lummi sticks is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it are soliciting comprehensive musical instruments and equipment procurement — brass, woodwind, string, and percussion instruments; pianos; sheet music; storage furniture; and accessories — rather than rhythm sticks or lummi sticks specifically. School districts are the primary issuing bodies, purchasing instruments to support K–12 music programs across elementary, middle, and high school sites. The solicitations show broadscale replacement and expansion of music inventories, with districts specifying student, intermediate, and professional-grade instruments from manufacturers such as Yamaha, Selmer, Jupiter, Pearl, and Zildjian, alongside ancillary items including cases, stands, bows, reeds, storage racks, and marching band equipment. Vendors typically bid on a subset or all line items, with pricing firm for 12 months and contracts usually running one to three years with renewal options.

Issuing bodies are school districts across California, Georgia, Texas, Michigan, Maryland, and Virginia; the Fontana Unified School District (California) solicited 139 line items across brass, woodwind, string, and percussion instruments with bids due October 5, 2026 (IFB 26270006); Muscogee County School District (Georgia) requested bids on over 600 instrument line items under ITB 27-002 with bids due September 9, 2026; Columbia County School District (Georgia) solicited music storage furniture and shelving with bids due October 16, 2026 (HC-10-16-26A); Wicomico County Public Schools (Maryland) issued an IFB for 85 line items of instruments and pianos with bids due June 5, 2026 (IFB 58000-261); West Ottawa Public Schools (Michigan) sought marching band drums and percussion with bids due June 4, 2026 (RFPWOP2600000020621); Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (Texas) requested sheet music proposals due October 1, 2026 (MUMT1026); and Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government (Virginia) sought term contracts for MSRP-discounted instruments with proposals due August 6, 2026 (2000004389). The code shows little activity directly addressing rhythm sticks or lummi sticks; the mismatch between the nominal commodity and the broad-based instrument procurement under this code warrants clarification with your procurement research team.
