UNSPSC 90111503: Bed and breakfast inns

UNSPSC 90111503 Bed and breakfast inns is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure B&B inns directly under this code; instead, the recent solicitation activity shows they buy comprehensive conference and event hosting services that include lodging, meeting space, catering, and audio-visual support bundled as venue packages. The Illinois Chief Procurement Office and Texas Veterans Commission dominate the recent activity, along with single-event procurements from the Texas Workforce Commission, Texas Department of Banking, Florida Virtual School, Louisville Metro Government, and other state and local agencies seeking multi-day or annual conference facilities with overnight guest accommodations. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Galveston), with secondary activity in Illinois (Chicago), Florida, and scattered opportunities in Oregon, Georgia, and Ohio. A representative recent opportunity is the Texas Veterans Commission's RFP 40320271801003 (posted July 15, 2026, due August 26, 2026) for rental of conference facilities hosting the 2027 TVC Annual Conference, requiring approximately 2,090 room nights across four nights, one 700-800-person general-session ballroom, up to 20 breakout rooms, comprehensive audio-visual support, and food and beverage services at preferred locations in Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Galveston, San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi, and Bryan/College Station. Another is the Texas Workforce Commission's RFP 3202700015 (posted June 25, 2026, due June 5, 2026, responses due August 2026) for four Texas Conference for Employers events across San Antonio, Horseshoe Bay, Arlington, and Houston requiring 350-800 attendees, 20+ sleeping rooms at government per diem rates, configured meeting space, and catering.

The issuing-body mix spans state workforce and veterans commissions, state family and protective services departments, municipal governments, school districts, universities, special-purpose authorities (such as transit boards and park boards), and nonprofits. Illinois, Texas, and Florida agencies post most frequently. The code shows strong recent activity: the Texas Veterans Commission alone has posted five separate RFPs for annual and one-time conferences since February 2026, with response dates clustered in June through October 2026. Evaluation criteria across these opportunities consistently weight cost and price (25–45%), technical approach and qualifications (40–45%), and past performance (5–15%). Successful vendors typically demonstrate three to five years of similar conference experience, maintain $1–2 million in commercial general liability insurance, agree to waive deposits and attrition penalties, and lock lodging rates at GSA per diem or lower with no price escalation during the contract term. Set-asides and preferences vary—Texas frequently flags Buy Texas preferences for service-disabled veterans and local vendors, while Illinois applies prevailing wage and minority contractor fee requirements. The code is worth pursuing if your firm operates hospitality or conference services in Texas or Illinois and can bundle lodging, meeting space, food service, and A/V into firm-fixed, per-diem-compliant pricing with fast turnaround on RFP response.
