UNSPSC 82101904: Cinema placement

UNSPSC 82101904 Cinema placement, a Commodity code, encompasses public outreach, community engagement, and marketing communication services that state and local governments are actively soliciting to promote transit, tourism, environmental initiatives, and public programs through integrated campaigns across digital and traditional media channels. State and local buyers under this code span transportation authorities, convention and visitors bureaus, state economic development offices, cities, counties, and specialized districts—with the Orange County Transportation Authority appearing as a repeat issuer. The scope of work includes strategic marketing plan development, social media management, content creation and community liaison roles, paid advertising across multiple platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, LinkedIn), video and photography production, ethnic and multilingual outreach, influencer engagement, event activation support, and performance measurement with monthly or quarterly reporting. Representative recent opportunities include the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP for Pacific Surfliner social media marketing and digital services (July 9, 2026, $450,000 over one year), the City of Milpitas RFP for communications and marketing support services covering graphic design and video production (July 28, 2026), and the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP for 405 and 91 Express Lanes marketing ($450,000 over three years, proposals due June 30, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in California—particularly Orange County and Silicon Valley municipalities—with notable solicitations from Florida (Broward County, North Miami Beach, Collier County), Texas (state-level destination marketing, Texas A&M University system), and scattered activity across Georgia, Connecticut, Arizona, Michigan, and the Pacific Northwest. The issuing bodies range from transit authorities and convention bureaus to state offices of the governor pursuing destination marketing in foreign markets (Israel, Australia, Mexico, Asia) and education agencies managing open education resource promotion and fitness assessment data systems. Compensation structures vary widely: time-and-expense with fully burdened hourly rates predominate in public outreach and community engagement work; fixed fees with commission or percentage-based models appear in tourism and promotional merchandise contracts; and per-ticket or per-campus licensing fees govern platform and SaaS offerings. Most contracts carry three-year initial terms with optional one- or two-year renewals, and award timelines typically span four to eight weeks from proposal due date to contract execution. Insurance requirements consistently include $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability with the issuing body named as additional insured, and many solicitations include HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) subcontracting plans or local vendor preferences as evaluation factors.
