UNSPSC 60111410: Decorative shapes or strings

UNSPSC 60111410 Decorative shapes or strings is a Commodity code encompassing seasonal holiday lighting, garland, wreaths, trees, and related decoration installations that state and local governments procure for parks, downtown districts, municipal facilities, and civic celebrations. State and local buyers are using this code primarily for holiday season displays—Christmas lighting on poles and trees, decorated garlands and bows, lighted wreaths, and temporary winter wonderland installations—with vendors responsible for design, supply, installation, maintenance, and removal. Recent solicitations show cities and counties issuing RFPs and RFQs for turnkey holiday decoration services, often bundling lighting with physical decoration elements and sometimes adding ancillary features like ice skating rinks or event programming. Issuing bodies range across small cities (New Smyrna Beach, DeBary, Cooper City, Milpitas), mid-size municipalities (Gainesville, St. Cloud, Conyers), counties (Williamson County in Texas, Collier County in Florida, Columbia County in Georgia), and specialized districts (Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency). Contract terms typically run one to three years with optional renewal periods, and evaluation often emphasizes vendor experience with similar public-sector projects, safety compliance, insurance capacity, and responsiveness to local aesthetic and operational requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida—particularly Collier County (Immokalee CRA, City of Doral) and Volusia County (New Smyrna Beach, DeBary)—with additional solicitations in Georgia (Columbia County, City of Conyers), California (Milpitas), and Texas (Williamson County).

Evaluation criteria across these opportunities emphasize contractor experience with public agencies, insurance and safety compliance, references and past performance, and price competitiveness; most require Florida business registration, E-Verify compliance, and comprehensive general liability coverage between $1 million and $2 million.
