UNSPSC 80141903: Talent or entertainment

UNSPSC 80141903 Talent or entertainment is a Commodity code capturing event staffing, entertainment contracting, and exhibit management services that state and local governments procure to operate public events, conferences, fairs, and community gatherings. Recent solicitations reveal a fragmented buyer base spanning county convention authorities, school districts, agricultural associations, municipal parks departments, and state workforce agencies, all seeking hands-on execution of entertainment logistics rather than talent or performer services alone. The work includes event staffing (ushering, ticket-taking, security checkpoint operations, crowd management), talent booking and artist contracting, exhibit design and installation, community event management, and turnkey outdoor entertainment production.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida, with secondary representation in Georgia. Volusia County solicited event staffing and security for its Ocean Center Convention Center in Daytona Beach (RFP 26P124JJ, due December 9, 2026), seeking personnel for ticket operations, entry security screening, and in-event crowd management across 52 anticipated events annually; the 22nd District Agricultural Association rebid talent booking and contracting services twice for the San Diego County Fair (RFP 26-027 Rebid 2, due August 6, 2026), managing artist negotiations and talent agent liaison work.
