UNSPSC 82151510: Art installation and picture hanging service

Service providing installation of artwork including picture hanging services

UNSPSC 82151510 Art installation and picture hanging service is a Commodity-tier code. State and local governments procure under this code for the design, fabrication, and installation of permanent and temporary public art, including tile-based murals, interactive exhibits, commemorative sculptures, outdoor environmental graphics, and integrated architectural artwork across civic buildings, parks, cultural institutions, and educational facilities. Recent activity shows substantial divergence between the code's nominal scope—picture hanging—and what issuing bodies are actually buying: public art commissions, museum exhibit fabrication with embedded technology, site-specific sculptural installations, and large-scale tile and mural work that demands artist-led conceptual development, fabrication coordination, and professional installation expertise.

Issuers include county arts and culture departments (Palm Beach County, Los Angeles County, Harris County Precinct 1), municipal governments (City of Fairburn, City of Lawrenceville, City of Dunwoody), state agencies and systems (Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Tech University System, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Savannah State University), and independent and regional school districts (Dallas ISD, Fort Bend ISD). Geographic spread spans Texas (Houston, Dallas area, Florence area), Florida (Palm Beach County, Hillsborough County), Georgia (Fairburn, Lawrenceville, Dunwoody, Savannah), Utah (Summit County Park City), Illinois (Springfield), California (Los Angeles County), and Michigan (Lansing). Recent representative opportunities include Palm Beach County's RFP for tile-based artwork fabrication and installation at the Aqua Crest Aquatic Complex ($348,000, responses due October 20, 2026), Hillsborough County's design and fabrication of interactive museum exhibits for Veterans Memorial Park Education and Cultural Center ($800,000, proposals due August 6, 2026), the City of Fairburn's mural design and installation under an IFB (proposals due August 25, 2026), Summit County Public Art Advisory Board's call for exterior commemorative benches ($52,000 total project budget, proposals due September 25, 2026), and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum's exhibit fabrication and installation with a mandatory 23 percent minority/women/disability-owned business set-aside (bids due August 17, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid attendance July 23, 2026). Most opportunities target artists and artist teams with demonstrated experience in large-scale public commissions; several carry local-vendor preferences and minority/women/disability-owned business participation goals. The code is actively pursued by jurisdictions across multiple states and institution types, with sustained pipeline activity through mid-2027.
