UNSPSC 39111504: Stage or projection or studio lighting system

UNSPSC 39111504 Stage or projection or studio lighting system is a Commodity code covering theatrical and performance-space lighting fixtures, control systems, and related installation and maintenance services that state and local governments procure for auditoriums, performing-arts centers, schools, museums, and similar venues. Recent opportunities show school districts and municipal authorities buying ETC (Electronic Theater Controls) track lighting, LED theatrical fixtures, control consoles, rigging systems, dimming equipment, and comprehensive installation and maintenance labor across a mix of new construction, renovation, and emergency repair contracts. The scope spans full system design-build work (fixture procurement, electrical infrastructure, programming, training) down to hourly maintenance and after-hours emergency callbacks, with pricing typically structured as lump-sum design-build fees, hourly labor rates for service work, and materials markup allowances. Issuing bodies include school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Forsyth County Schools in Georgia, Sarasota County Schools in Florida, Jordan School District in Utah), special districts and cultural institutions (Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Illinois, University of Texas System), and municipal governments (City of Cooper City in Florida). Repeat activity among school districts suggests steady demand for theatrical system upgrades tied to auditorium renovations and modernization cycles.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Georgia, and Utah. Pinellas County Schools (Florida) issued an ITB for electrical maintenance and repair services covering auditorium and theater lighting with a contract value around $400,000 and response deadline of October 8, 2026. The School Board of Sarasota County (Florida) posted an ITB for theatrical stage rigging, lighting, and sound systems installation and maintenance with bids due August 11, 2026, structured as hourly labor rates plus materials markup. Jordan School District (Utah) issued an IFB for theatrical lighting and AV upgrades at Elk Ridge Middle School with a May 14, 2026 bid deadline and substantial completion by August 7, 2026. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (Illinois) procured ETC track lighting fixtures and Mosaic control systems with specific product models (Irideon FPZ, Selador Desire D22 Lustr+) and eight days of ETC Certified Technical Services, with an IFB deadline of May 28, 2026 and delivery by July 31, 2026. Forsyth County Schools (Georgia) issued a bids request for FoCAL Theatre Lighting with a September 18, 2026 due date but minimal scope detail in the source. University of Texas System posted an RFQ for museums lighting services or equipment with a September 14, 2026 deadline. Most school-district contracts require 24/7 emergency response capabilities, Florida or Utah licensing, background screening, insurance minimums ($1 million general liability standard), and demonstrated multi-year experience; many reserve the right to award to multiple contractors on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed volume.
