UNSPSC 82151703: Dancers services

UNSPSC 82151703 Dancers services is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the actual work state and local governments are buying under this designation. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; a review of 24 recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code reveals that only a single solicitation involves performance services meaningfully related to the code name—the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs' request for professional piano services at the Illinois Veterans Home Manteno facility (RFP 27497DVAMANTEB53236, due July 24, 2026)—which is instrumental music instruction rather than dance. The remaining opportunities in the dataset span event entertainment vendor selection (Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District's contracted entertainment and rental services framework), educational activities catalog discounts, collegiate DJ services, parade planning, seasonal ice skating experiences, college rodeo management, arts education programs, aerial drone light shows, carnival equipment rental, and large-scale park operations, none of which constitutes dancers or dance performance services. The code appears to be either systematically misapplied by issuing bodies or extremely narrow in actual procurement volume under its intended scope.

Because the dataset contains no actionable solicitations for dancers services as the code describes them, pursuing opportunities under UNSPSC 82151703 is not currently warranted based on recent state and local contract activity. Practitioners seeking dance or performer talent procurement should monitor issuing bodies' event entertainment and arts programming RFPs—which often include performance services as line items within broader venue operations, festival management, or entertainment buying contracts—rather than relying on this commodity code to surface relevant opportunities.
