UNSPSC 90151501: Museums

UNSPSC 90151501 Museums is a Commodity code that covers exhibit fabrication, installation, and design services for museum and cultural institution displays, interactive installations, and public art commissions. State and local governments use this code to procure work ranging from fabrication and installation of permanent, heavy-use interactive exhibits to the design and creation of site-specific public artwork for civic centers, parks, and educational institutions. Recent opportunities show a mix of turnkey exhibit installation projects (which combine design, fabrication, delivery, and installation as integrated scopes), artist selection for public art commissions, and specialized graphic design and production support for cultural marketing. Issuing bodies include state agencies (the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum), county governments (Hillsborough County), cities (Arlington, Salem, Lawrenceville, Dunwoody, Madison), university systems (Texas Tech University System, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, Savannah State University), and county departments of arts and culture (Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture). State and county procurement offices and special-purpose cultural or parks departments dominate the recent activity.

The geographic spread centers on Texas, Illinois, Florida, Georgia, California, and Wisconsin, with additional activity in Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum's RFP (solicitation 26506ALPLMALPLMB53162, due August 17, 2026) for fabrication and installation of the Citizen City Children's exhibit, a 1,000-square-foot interactive installation requiring experience with permanent exhibits designed for heavy public use and subject to a 23 percent Business Enterprise Program set-aside; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' RFP (RFP2600320, due August 6, 2026) for design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of interactive displays for the Veterans Memorial Park Education and Cultural Center with an estimated project value of $800,000; and the City of Arlington's Invitation for Quote (ITQ2606, due February 27, 2026) for design and painting of two murals at Richard Greene Linear Park with a budget of approximately $30,000. The City of Lawrenceville issued an RFQ (RQ009-26, due August 6, 2026) for Design Management and Production Services supporting its Office of Communications and Marketing on an annual contract, establishing a qualified vendor pool for primary full-service and on-call design roles. Activity is recent and ongoing; exhibit fabrication projects tend to carry 12-month performance schedules, while public art commissions typically span longer design-development and fabrication cycles extending into 2027 and 2028.
