UNSPSC 39112503: Moving lights

UNSPSC 39112503 Moving lights, a Commodity code, encompasses theatrical and performance-venue lighting fixtures and associated rigging, control systems, and installation or maintenance services that state and local governments procure for auditoriums, performing arts centers, and district entertainment facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts, county systems, and municipal venues sourcing track-mount theatrical lighting fixtures (such as ETC Irideon and Selador Desire models), portable and stationary stage lighting equipment, lighting control systems with DMX and digital interfaces, and comprehensive installation, maintenance, and repair services bundled with hourly labor rates and parts pricing. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county education systems, with occasional participation from state agencies (Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum) and municipal recreation departments. Work solicited ranges from single capital purchases of lighting equipment for new or renovated performance spaces to ongoing maintenance contracts with emergency-response requirements and firm hourly labor pricing across standard and after-hours windows.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and the broader Southeast, with notable opportunities posted by Pinellas County School District (electrical maintenance and repair services including auditorium and theater lighting, ITB 26CD037, bids due October 8, 2026), Forsyth County Schools in North Carolina (theatre lighting for the FCS Performing Arts Center, RFQ B26-11, bids due September 18, 2026), the School Board of Sarasota County, Florida (theatrical stage rigging, lighting, and sound systems installation and maintenance, ITB Bid #27-0287, bids due August 11, 2026), the State of Illinois via the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ETC track lighting and Mosaic control system for the Illinois Gallery and Citizen City exhibit, IFB 26506ALPLMALPLMB52190, bids due May 28, 2026), and the University of Texas at Dallas on behalf of the Universities of Texas System (museum lighting equipment and services, RFQ UTD20260707EH, proposals due September 14, 2026). Pinellas County's electrical maintenance contract carries an estimated value of approximately $400,000 with a one-year initial term and optional renewals. Most school district solicitations emphasize three to five years of verifiable theatrical or electrical stage-systems experience, Florida state licensing where applicable, liability and workers' compensation insurance, and compliance with background screening and E-Verify requirements.
