UNSPSC 60121003: Statuary

UNSPSC 60121003 Statuary, a Commodity code, covers state and local procurement of custom sculptural installations, art consultation and curation services, and related design and fabrication work. The code captures a diverse scope: permanent museum-quality sculptural pieces (such as fabricated polycarbonate leaf installations with custom finishes), festival-scale sand sculpting coordination and artist management, and public art program curation including artist recruitment, installation logistics, and interpretive materials. Issuing bodies range across city economic development and cultural affairs offices, state museum and natural-resource departments, and municipal growth-management divisions, with recent solicitations reflecting both one-off installations and multi-year rotating public art programs. Work spans from single-vendor design-build procurement to competitive RFQs and RFPs.

Recent activity shows a geographic spread across the Southeast and West. The City of Ocala (Florida) posted RFQ RFQGRM261079 on September 14, 2026 (due October 12, 2026) for sand sculpting consultation and artist coordination supporting the 2027 Sand & Sun Festival, seeking a consultant with one to three years' experience to manage six professional sand sculptors, oversee logistics, and handle on-site preparation and judging during May 10–15, 2027. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks issued a sole-source notice (RFX 3150006972, due September 9, 2026) for the Lobby Leaf Sky Sculpture—a $69,200 custom polycarbonate installation by SRS Fabrication Inc. for the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science in Jackson.

The code shows activity across municipal, state-agency, and special-purpose district buyers pursuing both competitive and non-competitive awards.
