UNSPSC 90111602: Videoconferencing facilities

UNSPSC 90111602 Videoconferencing facilities is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses the full range of conference venue, catering, and event-support services that state and local governments actually buy—not videoconferencing equipment or services in isolation, but rather the integrated provision of meeting space, food and beverage, sleeping rooms, audio-visual infrastructure, parking, and on-site technical support bundled for multi-day or single-day conferences. State workforce agencies, veterans commissions, state election bureaus, county child support offices, municipal departments, transit authorities, and other issuing bodies solicit under this code when they need a venue vendor to manage the complete logistics of a conference event. The Texas Workforce Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple recent RFPs for statewide conferences and employer training events in 2027, 2028, and 2029; the Texas Veterans Commission is also active with symposium and annual conference venues. Issuers across the mix typically evaluate on a weighted basis combining cost (typically 40–45 percent), technical capability and responsiveness to requirements (40–50 percent), and past performance or qualifications (10–20 percent). Minimum qualifications commonly require two to five years of recent conference-services experience or executive management background, demonstrated financial solvency, and commercial general liability insurance in the $1–2 million per occurrence range, with umbrella coverage up to $25 million for larger events.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, with the Texas Workforce Commission soliciting for the 2027 Texas Conference for Employers (RFP 3202700015, due June 5, 2026, covering four locations: San Antonio, Marble Falls, Arlington, and Houston); the 2027 Apprenticeship Texas Conference (RFP 3202700013, due July 20, 2026, selecting from ten designated Texas cities); the 2027 Texas Rising Star Early Educator Conferences (RFP 3202700011, due May 4, 2026, in Dallas/Fort Worth, Galveston, Bastrop, or San Antonio); and the 2028–2029 Statewide Conferences (RFP 3202800002, due November 20, 2026, preferring San Antonio or Houston). The Texas Veterans Commission has issued RFPs for the 2027 Veterans Employment Services Training Symposium (due July 30, 2026), the 2027 Peer Support Coordinators Annual Conference (due August 6, 2026), and the 2027 Annual Conference (due August 26, 2026). Outside Texas, the Michigan Department of State Bureau of Elections solicited for the Summer 2027 Clerk Conference (RFP 260000002401, proposal deadline August 6, 2026, for a 600-person event in Lansing scheduled July 13–14, 2027); Cuyahoga County Office of Child Support Services in Ohio bid a single-day employers' workshop in Cleveland (due July 29, 2026); and Clay County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted a property lease for venue use (due November 23, 2026). Geographic concentration is heavily Texan in the most recent posting cycle, with secondary activity in Michigan, Ohio, Florida, and Rhode Island (which established a Master Price Agreement for videographer services with open enrollment through December 2028).
