UNSPSC 90152201: Leisure service / 3rd party

A 3rd party service focused on recreation, entertainment, sports, and tourism rest-related products and services.

UNSPSC 90152201 Leisure service / 3rd party is a Commodity code representing the procurement of contracted professional entertainment and event production services that state and local governments buy to staff, execute, and manage public cultural programming, celebrations, and community engagement activities. Across the recent opportunities, issuing bodies—including state departments, counties, cities, universities, and special-purpose districts—are soliciting discrete entertainment delivery: musicians for facility chapel services, DJ services, outdoor movie event management, parade planning and coordination, carnival equipment and foam party rentals, drone light shows for university commencements, entertainment buyer services for state fairs, and full-service event production support for parks and venues. The work ranges from single-performer engagements (piano services at an Illinois veterans home) to comprehensive turnkey operations spanning multiple concurrent events, equipment logistics, vendor management, sponsorship acquisition, marketing, staffing, and post-event evaluation. Issuing bodies include state departments of veterans affairs and agriculture, county recreation and parks authorities, municipal arts and entertainment divisions, independent school districts, universities, and memorial associations. Counties and cities are active repeat buyers across seasonal and annual event cycles.

Geographic activity spans multiple states with recent solicitations posted from Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado, Connecticut, and South Dakota. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the breadth: the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs posted a small-purchase RFP on July 16, 2026, for professional piano services at the Illinois Veterans Home Manteno through June 30, 2027 (due July 24, 2026); the City of Peoria posted an RFP for ParkFest outdoor movie event management on July 10, 2026 (due July 30, 2026); Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Texas) posted an ongoing RFP for contracted event entertainment and rental services through June 30, 2027; the City of Dallas posted a sealed-proposal RFP on April 2, 2026, for full-service, end-to-end event production at Fair Park, a 277-acre complex, with proposals due May 15, 2026; and Kenosha County, Wisconsin, issued RFPs in March and April 2026 for seasonal recreation operations including Fox River Park river tubing and the historic Kemper Center campus revitalization. Los Alamos County and the South Dakota State Fair Department each posted RFPs for multi-year event production and entertainment buyer services. Pricing structures vary widely—flat fees, hourly labor rates, revenue share models, commission-based arrangements, and percentage-of-gross-receipts formulas—and many opportunities embed participation goals, insurance requirements, and local-preference provisions typical of state and municipal procurement.
