UNSPSC 86131600: Music and drama

UNSPSC 86131600 Music and drama is a Class code that state and local governments use to procure professional performers, instructors, and educational programming in arts disciplines. Recent solicitations show school districts, state departments, and public health agencies buying performance art educator services, jazz residency programs, theatre arts instruction for youth, and specialized music instruction delivered across district campuses or institutional settings. The code encompasses both direct service delivery (teaching, performance, workshops) and instructional materials or curriculum support tied to music and drama programming.

School districts dominate the recent activity, including Katy ISD, Granite School District, LEAD Public Schools in Tennessee, Beaverton School District in Oregon, and the California Department of State Hospitals. Geographic spread spans California, Oregon, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia, with Texas showing the heaviest concentration. Representative recent opportunities include Granite School District's RFP DB26-005 for an after-school elementary instrumental music program (proposals due June 17, 2026); LEAD Public Schools' request for a comprehensive jazz residency program at two middle school campuses (RFP due July 16, 2026, with proposals spanning staffing, instruments, curriculum, and performance coordination); the California Department of State Hospitals' IFB #26-20027-000 for performance art educator services at six psychiatric hospital locations (IFB due August 5, 2026, maximum $85.00 per hour); and the County of Orange Probation Department's RFP for theatre arts and music instructional services for incarcerated youth (proposals due March 23, 2026, three-year firm fixed fee with optional two-year renewal). Katy ISD has also posted multiple related educational services RFPs (educational interpreting, sign language interpreting, educational diagnosticians, and staff development), though these lean more toward special education support than music and drama specifically. The code shows moderate recent activity concentrated in school district procurement for augmenting in-house arts instruction and specialized programming for underserved student populations.
