UNSPSC 90121502: Travel agencies

UNSPSC 90121502 Travel agencies is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy travel management services under this code—principally airline, hotel, ground transportation, and rail reservations for employee business travel and group travel programs; international sales representation and destination marketing services; and specialized travel consulting for student and athletic group travel. The scope spans full-service travel agency operations with live agent support and online reservation systems, trade-show participation and familiarization trip coordination for tourism marketing, charter flight brokerage, and turnkey group itinerary planning. Issuing bodies include state departments (Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget; Texas Department of Transportation), county tourism development councils and convention and visitors bureaus (Monroe County Tourist Development Council; Broward County Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau), school districts (Pinellas County School District; Granite School District), and higher-education institutions (University of Oregon; University of Houston-Downtown; Texas Southern University; Snow College). Broward County's tourism bureau emerges as a repeat buyer, soliciting project specialists for targeted Latin American and European travel trade development in multiple recent procurements.

Recent activity spans geographically from Texas and Utah to Florida, Michigan, and Georgia, with substantial concentration in Florida and among state-level travel administrator services. Representative opportunities include the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget requesting statewide travel administrator services (RFP 1712600000024862, proposals due September 9, 2026) to provide 24/7 agent-supported and online reservations for domestic and international air, hotel, car, and rail travel for state employees, with an estimated annual volume of approximately 5,985 air tickets and 27,549 hotel room reservations; the Pinellas County School District soliciting travel management services (ITB 26HO028, bids due July 9, 2026) for airline, ground transportation, hotel, and group travel packages with an estimated annual contract value of $50,000 and dual-supplier award structure; the Granite School District issuing a competitive bid (IFB DK27-501-IFB, bids due October 1, 2026) for student group travel to San Antonio and Austin for the Taylorsville High School Choir with firm all-inclusive pricing required; and the Monroe County Tourist Development Council seeking international sales and representation services in Latin America (RFP 651, proposals due November 3, 2026) focused on Brazil and Argentina with a three-year initial term and optional two-year extension.
