GT Music Inc.

GT Music Inc., doing business as The Music Den, a veteran-owned small business Subchapter S Corporation based in Randolph, New Jersey, supplies musical instruments and accessories to the Department of Defense and federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, operating under total small business set-asides for approximately 70% of awards and competing full-and-open on the remainder.

GT Music Inc.'s capability footprint centers entirely on procuring and delivering band instruments—woodwinds (flutes, clarinets, saxophones, oboes, bassoons), brass (trumpets, trombones, French horns, tubas, sousaphones, euphoniums), percussion (timpani, chimes, marching drums), and keyboards—along with cases, mouthpieces, and accessories to outfit military music programs. Representative prime work includes a $262.8 million delivery order from the Air Education and Training Command (June 2024) for BMT drum and bugle instruments under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $203 thousand purchase order from the Army Reserve Command (August 2022) for Miyazawa Vision flutes; a $163.3 thousand purchase order from the Department of the Army (August 2022) for a Conn sousaphone; and a $134.5 thousand delivery order from the Marine Corps (March 2025) for assorted band instruments under the MAS vehicle. Recent smaller awards include a $88.2 thousand Marine Corps purchase order for piccolos, clarinets, saxophones, horns, euphoniums, sousaphones, and tubas (March 2026) and a $112.2 thousand Army delivery order for rotary trombones, tenor trombones, bass trombones, and clarinets (April 2025), both under total small business set-asides.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense music programs. The Department of the Army (64 awards, $2.3 million combined potential value) and the United States Marine Corps (44 awards, $2.8 million) together account for roughly 33% of the 328 awards in the source data and approximately 41% of combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Music Program Management (31 awards, $1.4 million), the Department of the Navy across other commands (17 awards, $275 thousand), and the Army Forces Command (15 awards, $962 thousand) round out the top five, collectively representing 52% of awards and 65% of combined potential value. Activity across the federal government extends to sixty distinct agencies, including Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard units (Maryland, Indiana, New Mexico, Ohio, Delaware, Idaho, and others), the Air Force Academy, Merchant Marine Academy, and Army training installations, but defense music programs dominate the portfolio.

GT Music Inc. operates primarily through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which carries 142 task orders valued at $5.2 million in combined potential value. The vast majority of remaining awards are direct purchase orders and delivery orders placed by individual service branches and agencies without a parent vehicle. The vendor does not sit on GWACs, agency-wide IDIQs, or BPAs; the MAS vehicle is the sole named procurement vehicle in the award portfolio.

Activity trajectory shows moderate decline. Awards averaged 26 per year in 2022, dropped to 16 in 2023 and 2024, further declined to 13 in 2025, and only 2 awards have been captured in 2026 to date. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only 2 awards with ultimate completion dates in that window carry a combined potential value of $127 thousand. Combined potential value across the entire 328-award portfolio stands at $12.4 million, with $12.2 million already obligated (98% spend-down rate).

GT Music Inc. maintains no subcontract footprint in the award record; all 328 awards carry it as a prime contractor or sole awardee. The vendor competes through category concentration in Musical Instrument Manufacturing (245 awards) and Musical Instrument and Supplies Stores (69 awards) classifications, with Musical Instruments as the dominant PSC (299 awards). Registered in the System for Award Management since 2006, GT Music Inc. has built a durable, if modest and narrowly focused, presence in federal music-program procurement across defense agencies, with no evidence of diversification into IT, logistics, facilities, or other federal service categories outside the musical-instrument supply chain.
