UNSPSC 72154033: Theatrical prop or set or scenery construction erection and repair service

The construction, erection, maintenance and repair of theatrical props, sets and scenery owned by others.

UNSPSC 72154033 Theatrical prop or set or scenery construction erection and repair service is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses temporary event labor, specialized rigging infrastructure, and venue-support services rather than traditional theatrical construction. State and local governments use this code to procure stagehand labor, rigging contractors, event production support, and arts programming services for convention centers, parks, schools, and municipal venues. The issuing bodies span municipal arts and culture offices, county facilities management, school districts, and city event-planning functions — predominantly mid-sized cities and their districts seeking episodic or ongoing support for cultural programming and events.
