UNSPSC 82161505: Theatrical make-up artist service

An artist whose medium is the human body, applying make-up and prosthetics for theatrical, television, film, fashion, magazines and other similar productions including all aspects of the modelling industry.

UNSPSC 82161505 Theatrical make-up artist service is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The code's abstract definition does not match the recent opportunities posted against it: three of the five recent records are on-call planning services RFPs from the City of Stockbridge, Georgia (issued March 25, April 15, and May 18, 2026), one is a fine arts uniforms procurement from Northside Independent School District in Texas (IFB posted May 12, 2026), and one is rigging services for a county convention center and arena in Volusia, Florida (ITB posted April 24, 2026). None of these solicitations explicitly request theatrical make-up artist services or theatrical makeup application work.

The mismatch between the code and the actual opportunities suggests this code experiences little relevant procurement activity at the state and local level currently. The Stockbridge planning services RFPs, which dominate the recent-opportunities block, involve comprehensive municipal planning disciplines such as housing analysis, urban design, economic development, and greenways planning—work unrelated to theatrical makeup. The NISD uniform procurement targets guard, dance, and spirit uniforms for fine arts programs, not makeup services. The Volusia rigging procurement addresses overhead systems, equipment rental, and labor for conventions and arena events, similarly outside theatrical makeup scope. No recent state or local solicitations in the dataset explicitly seek theatrical makeup artist services, makeup application for performances, makeup design consulting, or makeup supply and application labor for theatrical productions. Pursuing this code would require either specialized niche positioning for rare makeup-related event or performance work or acceptance that the code shows insufficient current activity to support a focused business development strategy at this time.
