UNSPSC 39112507: Strip lights

UNSPSC 39112507 Strip lights is a Commodity code that covers lighting fixtures and equipment installed in educational, cultural, and municipal facilities — principally theatrical and auditorium stage lighting, but also venue and grounds lighting across school districts, museums, airports, and cities. State and local governments procuring under this code buy both permanent theater lighting systems (such as track-mount theatrical fixtures with control systems) and seasonal or temporary lighting installations (holiday decorations, parking lot and sports field fixtures, and emergency mobile light towers). The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (both independent and county-level), followed by municipalities, state agencies, and specialized authorities such as port authorities and university systems. Work ranges from competitive bids for theatrical stage rigging, lighting, and sound system services to sole-source procurements for OEM airfield lighting and quotations for mobile light towers.
