UNSPSC 93141701: Cultural events organizations

UNSPSC 93141701 Cultural events organizations, a Commodity code, describes state and local government procurement of services to conceive, produce, and manage cultural and artistic programming — including artist residencies, public art commissions and installations, event production, multimedia design, and curatorial services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring artist services for permanent public installations, temporary event management, graphic design and production support for cultural initiatives, DJ and entertainment services, and exhibit fabrication tied to cultural institutions and community programming.

The buying community spans state agencies, county governments, cities, independent school districts, and specialized state entities like cultural departments and university systems. Repeat buyers include Dallas Independent School District (which has posted multiple RFPs for arts instruction and cultural programming), Palm Beach County (public art at civic facilities), Hillsborough County (interactive cultural center exhibits), and Savannah State University (performance services). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Dallas ISD, Fort Bend ISD, Harris County, Texas Tech, Texas Department of Public Safety), Florida (Palm Beach County, Hillsborough County), and Georgia (Savannah State, City of Lawrenceville, City of Fairburn), with secondary activity in Illinois, Arizona, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Palm Beach County's RFP for tile-based public art fabrication and installation at the Aqua Crest Aquatic Complex (response due October 19, 2026, with a $348,000 budget); Dallas ISD's RFP for Cultural Experiences, Literacy, and Arts Production Services across multiple service categories including performance, DJ, photography, and event production (proposals due November 10, 2026); the 13th Judicial Circuit Court of Hillsborough County's ITB for multimedia graphic design services supporting court communications and branding over three years ($188,928 estimated value, response due October 5, 2026); and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum's IFB for fabrication and installation of an interactive children's exhibit with a mandatory pre-bid meeting and a Business Enterprise Program 23 percent set-aside requirement (bids due August 17, 2026).
