UNSPSC 86131601: Music schools

UNSPSC 86131601 Music schools is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of music instruction, ensemble programs, and related educational services, grounded in recent activity showing school districts soliciting everything from jazz residency programs to instrumental music instruction to music-inclusive theater arts training. Beyond traditional music education, the code encompasses districts' purchases of professional development in music instruction, music therapy services, and integrated arts programming that combines music with drama, dance, and performance. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and charter schools across multiple states, with standout repeat activity from Katy ISD in Texas (which has posted multiple RFPs for related educational and instructional services). A Tennessee charter school network, LEAD Public Schools, issued one of the most concrete music-specific opportunities, seeking a jazz residency provider for middle school students; Orange County Probation Department and Frontier Charter Academy in Oregon also appear in recent activity, signaling that music services extend beyond traditional school settings into juvenile justice programs and virtual education.

Geographic spread leans toward Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Oregon, and Michigan based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include LEAD Public Schools (Tennessee) RFP RFPLEADOPSJAZZRFP001202627 for a jazz residency program at two middle schools with proposals due July 16, 2026; Granite School District (Utah) RFP DB26-005 for after-school elementary instrumental music, proposals due June 17, 2026; and County of Orange Probation Department (California) RFP RFP0572944004MM for theatre arts and/or music instructional services to incarcerated youth, with a proposal deadline that has passed. Activity is sparse relative to the scale of special education and related services procurement visible in the same dataset; music schools as a code appears to capture only a small fraction of state and local educational service spending, making it a low-volume procurement category overall.
