UNSPSC 80141902: Meetings events

UNSPSC 80141902 Meetings events (Commodity) encompasses event planning, management, and operational staffing services that state and local governments procure to organize and execute conferences, community gatherings, market operations, and venue-based activities. Recent solicitations show buyers purchasing comprehensive event staffing and security, exhibit design and fabrication, conference exhibitor hall services, and event coordination—often bundling multiple operational and logistical functions under a single contract. Issuing bodies include county governments, cities, state agencies, universities, and special-purpose entities. Volusia County has solicited event staffing and in-event security services for its Ocean Center venue; the City of Holly Hill solicited management services for a weekly community market; Texas Workforce Commission procured multi-year exhibitor services for statewide conferences; the Gila River Indian Community sought social media strategy and content services; and the University of Texas at Austin solicited McDonald Observatory exhibit design and installation. The code attracts repeat procurers managing recurring or large-scale public events.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, Texas, and Arizona, with secondary activity across other states. The Texas Workforce Commission's exhibitor services RFP (due June 5, 2026, with initial contract value ranging from $28,000 to $40,000 per conference and five-year renewal potential) represents a large, multi-year opportunity. Volusia County's RFP 26P124JJ for Ocean Center event staffing and security (due December 9, 2026) covers three service lines—Event Staffing, Entry Security, and In-Event Security—with an initial three-year term and two optional one-year renewals, following 52 prior staffing events in the preceding twelve months. The City of Holly Hill's RFP 26ADM01 for weekly community market management (due August 20, 2026, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting on August 6, 2026) offers a one-year initial term with up to four renewal options, though the contractor receives no City compensation and must generate revenue through vendor fees. Sarasota County's RFP 262895KR for interpretive exhibit design, fabrication, and installation at Lemon Bay Park (due September 8, 2026) and the University of Texas's McDonald Observatory Exhibit RFP 72126103 (due October 9, 2026) represent smaller, project-specific opportunities in the exhibit design and installation segment.
