UNSPSC 82151705: Vocalists services

UNSPSC 82151705 Vocalists services is a Commodity code that encompasses professional singing and vocal performance services purchased by state and local governments for events, educational programs, entertainment venues, and facility operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct vocalist hiring; instead, the code appears to tag event entertainment and production services more broadly, including DJ services, audio-visual production, entertainment venue consultation, and seasonal entertainment operations. The issuing bodies include state universities (Savannah State University), state departments (Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), cities (Dallas, Conyers, Daytona Beach), counties (Volusia, Pinellas), school districts (Dallas ISD, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD), and special-purpose authorities (Nevada Division of State Parks, Georgia World Congress Center Authority). Most recent activity does not isolate vocalist services as a standalone procurement line; instead, vocalist performance appears bundled with broader entertainment, event production, or instructional arts services.

Recent opportunities directly or tangentially related to the code show scattered geographic distribution across the Southeast and Southwest, with activity in Georgia (Savannah State University DJ services, Georgia World Congress Center audio-visual production, City of Conyers Winter Wonderland entertainment), Texas (Dallas ISD visual and performing arts instructional materials, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD event entertainment, Dallas MLK Parade planning), Illinois (Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs piano services), and Nevada (Nevada Division of State Parks Sand Harbor Sleigh Rides). The Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs solicited piano services for chapel performances and hymn leading at the Illinois Veterans Home Manteno facility with a proposal due date of July 24, 2026 (ITB 27497DVAMANTEB53236), representing a direct performer-hire model. Dallas ISD issued RFP EO250355 in July 2026 for visual and performing arts instructional materials and services, including music performance support and consumables, with an aspirational 30 percent SBE participation goal. No recent solicitations tag vocalist services explicitly as a primary commodity or name vocalist performance as the dominant scope element; the code appears underutilized or misaligned with actual state and local buying patterns in this category.
