About this opportunity
The Department of the Army National Guard is conducting market research to procure musical instruments for equipment replacement, specifically seeking sources for 19 total professional-grade instruments including rotary and jazz trombones, bass trombones, and Bb wood clarinets. The instruments must meet detailed professional specifications outlined in the attached government files, including precise requirements for materials, valve types, cases, and mouthpieces. Potential vendors must submit a comprehensive response including company details, contact information, CAGE code, Unique Entity ID, small business classification, and a statement of capability demonstrating their expertise in supplying professional musical instruments. Responses are due by March 3, 2025, and firms failing to provide all requested information will be excluded from the government's acquisition decision process. This pre-solicitation notice is a market research tool and does not guarantee a future solicitation or contract award.
The opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, which means only small businesses can compete for the contract. The specific procurement includes six T350-E Tenor Trombones with Thayer Valve, six T302 Jazz Trombones, two B454-E Bass Trombones, and five Buffet Tosca Bb Clarinets, all of which must meet stringent professional music instrument specifications. While no specific contract value is mentioned, the detailed requirements suggest a high-quality, precision-focused procurement targeting professional-grade musical equipment. The instruments are intended to replace existing equipment due to normal wear, tear, and lifecycle replacement needs. Each instrument must be accompanied by a case and appropriate mouthpiece, with highly specific technical requirements for materials, construction, and accessories. The procurement falls under NAICS category 339992 (Musical Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC category 7710 (Musical Instruments).
