UNSPSC 90130000: Performing arts

UNSPSC 90130000 Performing arts is a Family code that encompasses instructional services, program production, and related support for arts and cultural activities conducted by state and local education and community service agencies. State and local governments procure under this code for jazz residency programs, theatre arts instruction for incarcerated youth, early childhood music and drama services, and fine arts staffing to expand student access to performance-based learning and cultural enrichment. Issuing bodies include school districts (Garland Independent School District in Texas, LEAD Public Schools in Tennessee), county education and workforce agencies (Orange County Probation Department in California), and specialized training providers. Recent opportunities show school districts and county agencies as the primary buyers, with singular recent examples drawn from Texas and Tennessee school systems and the Orange County juvenile justice system.

Representative recent procurement activity reflects narrow but distinct focus on instructional delivery rather than venue management or ticket sales. In June 2026, LEAD Public Schools posted an RFP for a comprehensive jazz residency program serving 17 students per site across two middle schools, with proposals due July 16, 2026, requiring turnkey delivery of qualified instructors, instruments, curriculum materials, and annual performances under a firm fixed-price structure with renewal options. In June 2026, the Orange County Probation Department issued an RFP for theatre arts and music instructional services for incarcerated youth, with responses due March 23, 2026, structured as a three-year firm fixed-fee agreement serving 10–20 youth per 12–15 week cohort with integration of foundational skills, dance, and culminating performances. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (school districts), Tennessee (LEAD Public Schools), and California (Orange County Probation), with limited visibility into other states. The code shows recent but sparse activity—no opportunities posted under this Family code appear in the most recent six weeks of the dataset other than the two instructional programs named above and an earlier fine arts temporary staffing RFP from Garland ISD.
