Listing TAXI # S211004LK
Do you think this listing is for instrumentals and vocals? It's under Folk but one example is an instrumental The other examples have vocals.

In the future, copy-paste the listing in your post when asking a question about it.
I looked it up, and it is clearly for a "song", i.e. WITH vocals.
A Range of MODERN FOLK SONGS are needed by a very successful Music Publisher with a long track record of placements in Film, TV, and Commercials.
This Publisher is searching for quite a few Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that might fit on a playlist with the following references:
"Mountain Quail" by Dust Follows
"Home" by Phillip Phillips
"Half Acre" by Hem
"Home" by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Please submit well-composed Folk Songs with memorable melodies, catchy choruses, top-notch musicianship, and a healthy dose of folksy charm. Instrumentation that's in the same general ballpark of the references and other artists like them will suit your submissions best – think acoustic guitars, handclaps, stomps, ukulele, etc. Please be sure that your production is high-quality, and any virtual instruments or samples you use sound like the real thing and not synthetic or stiff. Compelling, well-performed vocals could help you seal the deal!
Avoiding references to specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity will likely be the most appealing to this client. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for texture, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.
Quoting the Publisher: “Only artists/writers affiliated with ASCAP or BMI are eligible to submit their music for this opportunity.”

Re: Listing TAXI # S211004LK
It is odd that one of the ref tracks is not a vocal song, but an instrumental. Why would they do that and then not disclaim it with "some of the examples are instrumental. Be sure to submit vocal songs only", as they do (but opposite, of course) when requesting instros? Maybe an instrumental "song" would be acceptable? Contact Taxi for a ruling, if you're thinking about submitting an instro. Can't hurt.
