UNSPSC 44112004: Meeting planners

UNSPSC 44112004 Meeting planners, a Commodity code, names vendors who coordinate event logistics, catering, venue selection, and accommodations for conferences, banquets, and large-scale gatherings—but the recent state and local opportunities show little activity aligned with this scope. Of the five recent postings tagged to the code, only one directly solicits meeting-planning services: the State of Utah Division of Purchasing's request for banquet services and hotel accommodations for the Department of Public Safety's 75th Awards Banquet. The remaining four opportunities—library books, office supplies, student planners, and classroom supplies—fall outside the meeting-planning domain and appear to be miscoded. State and local issuing bodies pursuing genuine meeting-planning work under this code are sparse in the recent record.

The Utah Department of Public Safety banquet solicitation (RFP KL2634, due July 7, 2026) is the sole representative opportunity: it seeks proposals for a venue within the Salt Lake City area to host approximately 650 guests with a three-course plated dinner, lodging with flexible room-block arrangements, audio-visual capabilities including projection and wireless microphone systems, a 12-foot by 24-foot stage with professional lighting, parking for 325 vehicles, and security protocols. Technical evaluation weights capacity and flow (350 points), facility quality (150 points), cost effectiveness (100 points), room availability (100 points), and AV capabilities (100 points), with a minimum technical score threshold of 560 points to advance to cost evaluation. Geographic activity is concentrated in Utah based on recent postings. The code shows minimal recent procurement velocity across state and local jurisdictions, signaling either light demand or systematic miscoding of event-services opportunities into other UNSPSC families.
