UNSPSC 82131505: Film post production service

A service provided following the making of audio recordings, films/movies, photography and digital art, videos and television programs. It covers all activities occurring after the actual recording and ending with the completed work.

UNSPSC 82131505 Film post production service is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag miscellaneous media production and related services, though recent solicitations show little alignment with traditional post-production work. The recent opportunities under this code span utility billing and mailing services (City of Huntsville, Texas), immersive audiovisual design-build for a museum exhibit (Gwinnett County, Georgia), photographer and videographer vendor-list agreements (State of Rhode Island), professional photography and videography services (Cook County, Illinois), broadcast automation and content-delivery platform procurement (Hillsborough County, Florida), and high-volume printing and mailing services (City of Atlanta). The issuing bodies include city utilities departments, county parks and recreation, state procurement offices, and county media or broadcast divisions. This suggests the code is being applied broadly to capture communications, media capture, and production-adjacent services rather than film editing and post-production in the traditional sense.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with recent solicitations from Texas, Georgia, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Florida. The State of Rhode Island has issued two separate open-enrollment Master Price Agreements—MPA 213 for videographer services (proposals due September 14, 2026) and MPA 214 for photographer services (proposals due September 15, 2026)—both allowing multiple awards with pricing determined through mini-bids when individual agencies identify needs and both mandating minimum 15% minority and women business enterprise participation. The Gwinnett County Environmental & Heritage Center Sensory Treehouse Audiovisual Production (RFP RP027-26, due September 24, 2026) requires a single prime contractor for design-build audiovisual integration and media production, with five years' experience in similar projects and a virtual pre-proposal meeting scheduled for August 26, 2026. The City of Huntsville utility billing and mailing RFP (due August 20, 2026) covers monthly printing, folding, inserting, and mailing of approximately 11,600 utility bills and notices with 24-hour turnaround and integration to the City's Incode billing software. Recent posting activity clusters in June through August 2026, with response dates from August through September 2026 and one Rhode Island agreement running through December 29, 2028.
