UNSPSC 90151601: Circuses

UNSPSC 90151601 Circuses is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code sparsely and inconsistently; the recent opportunities tagged under it do not align with traditional circus services. The actual procurement activity captured under this code includes seasonal entertainment attractions (ice skating experiences, sleigh rides), event entertainment and DJ services, parade planning and coordination, entertainment venue consulting and recruitment, audio-visual production and rigging for conventions and facilities, and instructional materials for visual and performing arts programs in schools. The issuing bodies span a broad mix: municipal governments (City of Dallas, City of Conyers, County of Volusia), state agencies (Nevada Division of State Parks, Georgia World Congress Center Authority, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Savannah State University), school districts (Dallas Independent School District, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD), a convention and visitors bureau (Pinellas County), and regional education service cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). No single buyer appears more than twice in the recent record, indicating fragmented demand across many small, independent procurements.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Savannah State University's DJ services, Georgia World Congress Center Authority's audio-visual and production rigging, City of Conyers' Winter Wonderland and ice skating operation), Florida (County of Volusia's rigging services, City of Daytona Beach's entertainment venue consultant, Pinellas County's truss structure installation), Texas (Dallas ISD's arts instructional materials, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD's event entertainment rentals, Region 7's educational activities cooperative bid, Sam Houston State University's college rodeo services), and Nevada (Division of State Parks' Sand Harbor sleigh rides), with secondary activity in Illinois and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Nevada State Purchasing Department's RFP for Sand Harbor Sleigh Ride services (due November 5, 2026), requiring seasonal horse-drawn sleigh and carriage operations October 31 through April 1 with revenue sharing; the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's RFP for audio-visual and production rigging services (due September 30, 2026, mandatory pre-proposal site visit September 15, 2026) serving convention center, stadium, and park facilities with at least 32 percent commission requirement; the City of Conyers' RFP for Winter Wonderland and ice skating design, installation, and operation (due July 2, 2026, pre-proposal conference June 15, 2026) with mid-October 2026 installation and mid-November 2026 through late January 2027 operating season; and Dallas ISD's RFP for visual and performing arts instructional materials (due August 27, 2026) with 30 percent SBE participation aspiration. Savannah State University issued duplicate DJ services RFPs in June and July 2026 (proposals due June 22 and August 11, 2026 respectively), each seeking single-source supply with one-year terms plus four renewal options.
