UNSPSC 12131600: Pyrotechnics

UNSPSC 12131600 Pyrotechnics is a Class code spanning aerial fireworks displays, drone light shows, and emergency signaling devices procured by municipalities and towns for public events, holiday celebrations, and law enforcement operations. State and local governments under this code buy complete fireworks display services including design, choreography, materials, labor, permitting, and liability coverage for community events; drone light show production for commemorative occasions; and emergency road flares for police departments. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal governments and town purchasing departments, with recent activity concentrated among Connecticut towns (Hamden, Glastonbury, Shelton) and Florida and Texas cities (Gainesville, Charlotte, Lewisville). These are typically small-dollar, project-specific procurements with strict regulatory and insurance requirements.
