UNSPSC 60111401: Classroom decorative kits

UNSPSC 60111401 Classroom Decorative Kits is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity actually encompasses holiday lighting, seasonal decor, and event installations rather than classroom-specific kits. State and local governments are soliciting installation, maintenance, and removal services for temporary and seasonal decorations—principally holiday lights on municipal trees, building facades, and streetscapes, with ancillary items such as wreaths, garland, inflatables, and themed props for parks and public spaces. The issuing bodies include cities (Cooper City, Buda, Milton, Douglasville, New Smyrna Beach, Fort Worth, Doral, Conyers, Gainesville, Milpitas, St. Cloud), counties (Gwinnett County, Columbia County, Bay County, Collier County), transit and utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority), community redevelopment agencies (Immokalee CRA), and a university (University of Texas at Austin). Repeat buyers include the City of Cooper City, which has issued multiple solicitations for holiday lighting services in 2026.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with secondary activity in California. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0268 (posted October 14, 2026, due October 29, 2026) for seasonal, novelty decor, and event supplies to multiple city departments on an as-needed basis with a 30% small-business participation goal; the City of Milton, Georgia's ITB 26-PW09 (posted August 13, 2026, due September 2, 2026) for annual holiday lighting and decor installation at six city facilities with a one-year initial term and three automatic one-year renewals; Kissimmee Utility Authority's RFP 26026JG (posted October 19, 2026, due September 15, 2026) for inflatables, amusement rides, event equipment, and staffing services estimated between $250,000 and $500,000 over three years with two optional one-year renewals; and the City of New Smyrna Beach's RFP 14-26-LS (posted October 7, 2026, due May 13, 2026) for holiday lights and decoration display services at the Sports Complex with an annual budget of $30,000 and three-year initial contract term. These opportunities typically require comprehensive insurance (general liability $1 million to $2 million, workers' compensation, automobile liability), pre-bid or pre-proposal meetings, detailed itemized pricing by location or service element, and compliance with state employment-verification and affidavit requirements. Most award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on qualifications-based selection with cost weighting between 10 and 25 points.
