UNSPSC 93141703: Art related services

UNSPSC 93141703 Art related services (Commodity) encompasses museum exhibit fabrication, public art commissions, artist residencies, and related creative services that state and local governments acquire for institutional, civic, and educational purposes. Recent solicitations reflect a mix of capital-project art installations (large-scale sculptures and interactive exhibits for civic centers, parks, and cultural facilities), artist-in-residence positions, and design services for public spaces. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state universities, county cultural agencies, city planning and public works departments, and independent school districts, with no single repeat buyer dominating the activity. Work ranges from conceptual design competitions for permanent public art (with budgets from $30,000 to $987,400) to fabrication and installation of interactive museum exhibits and wayfinding signage, each typically involving detailed artist qualifications, portfolio review, site visits, and performance bonds.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Utah, Illinois, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (Illinois) issuing an ITB on July 13, 2026, for fabrication and installation of a 1,000-square-foot interactive children's exhibit with a mandatory pre-bid meeting, BEP set-aside requirements at 23 percent, and firm fixed pricing; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issuing an RFP on July 2, 2026, for interactive display exhibits for Veterans Memorial Park Education and Cultural Center with estimated value of $800,000 and strict NIST-aligned cybersecurity requirements; the City of West Jordan (Utah) issuing an RFQ on June 22, 2026, for artists to commission murals, sculptures, and interior paintings across city locations with a $50,000 total budget and mandatory five-year maintenance warranty; and Texas Tech University System requesting quotations on June 18, 2026, for a bronze public art statue approximately 7 feet in height for the College of Engineering. The code shows steady procurement activity with artist competitions increasingly requiring documented experience on comparable projects, comprehensive insurance and bonding, compliance with state prevailing wage and background check requirements, and ownership of intellectual property transferred to the public entity upon completion.
