UNSPSC 80141902: Meetings events

UNSPSC 80141902 Meetings events (Commodity) covers professional services for event planning, management, and support — including exhibitor services, venue operations, programming coordination, and ancillary event logistics — that state and local governments procure to execute conferences, trade fairs, multi-use facilities, and cultural programming. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show significant activity in exhibit hall management with equipment provision and labor; venue operations and management for sports, cultural, and civic facilities; and professional coordination services for conferences and public events. State workforce commissions, environmental quality agencies, cities, towns, and special-purpose authorities including tribal governments are the primary issuing bodies, with the Texas Workforce Commission and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality appearing as repeat buyers in the 2026 activity block. Work is being solicited across Texas (Dallas, San Antonio, Houston), Arizona (Prescott Valley), California (Santa Monica), Georgia (College Park), and by the Gila River Indian Community, with Texas representing the highest recent concentration of solicitations.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Workforce Commission's 3202600170, an RFP for comprehensive exhibitor services for the 2026 Statewide Conference and four subsequent annual conferences through 2030 (response deadline June 5, 2026), encompassing exhibit booth design, furniture rental, signage, flooring, registration kiosks, and full installation and dismantle labor for approximately 1,500 exhibitors across five-day events in Dallas, Grapevine, Houston, San Antonio, and other Texas locations, with historical compensation of $28,000 to $40,000 per conference and a maximum five-year contract term; the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's 5822740015, an RFP for exhibitor support and services for the Environmental Trade Fair and Conference with over 500 booth spaces and 4,000 attendees (response deadline March 27, 2026, events scheduled May 2027 and May 2028 in San Antonio and Austin); the Town of Prescott Valley's PR260802 for Indoor Activity Center venue management and operations covering daily programming, staffing, and financial management of a 63,682 square-foot multi-use facility (response deadline March 24, 2026); and the Gila River Police Department's RFP0641GRPD for social media strategy and implementation services supporting conference and event promotion (response deadline June 16, 2026).
