Local - Musical Instrument Manufacturer

The Jackson County School System is inviting qualified musical instrument manufacturers and authorized dealers to submit sealed proposals for the supply of new band and music classroom instruments, equipment, and accessories to support the upcoming opening of Hoschton High School in Fall 2027. The District requires educational-quality instruments suitable for concert band, marching band, percussion, jazz band, and general music instruction, prioritizing durability, consistent performance, and long-term value. Proposals may be submitted for the full scope of work or selected categories only, and the District retains the right to award contracts in whole or in part to one or more vendors based on what best serves its needs. Vendor participation is not restricted to a single provider, and flexibility in offerings is encouraged to ensure comprehensive coverage of required items. The solicitation, identified as PE-55087-NONST-2027-000000023, was posted on July 31, 2026, with proposals due by August 31, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The primary point of contact is Duane Peterson, reachable at dpeterson@jcss.us. This process is open to all qualified suppliers without set-aside restrictions, and all instruments and accessories must meet the District’s standards for educational use. Proposals must align with the technical specifications outlined in the request, and performance will be evaluated based on quality, reliability, pricing, and ability to deliver on time for the school’s opening. All information and submissions are managed through the Georgia Procurement Registry system.
