UNSPSC 93141708: Museum services

UNSPSC 93141708 Museum services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments solicit exhibit design, fabrication, installation, and related curatorial and educational services for museums, cultural centers, and heritage institutions. Recent solicitations show a mix of permanent interactive exhibits, temporary educational displays, public art commissions integrated with museum missions, and marketing and communications support for cultural organizations. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM), a State of Illinois agency, is requesting bids for fabrication and installation of the Citizen City Children's exhibit, a permanent 1,000-square-foot interactive installation with five major exhibit areas featuring audio-visual components, RFID-tagged props, touchscreen systems, and integrated lighting, with bids due August 17, 2026, and a mandatory virtual pre-bid meeting on July 23, 2026; the procurement carries a 23 percent Business Enterprise Program set-aside for minority-owned, women-owned, or disability-owned certified businesses. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners is requesting sealed proposals for design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of modern interactive display exhibits for the Veterans Memorial Park Education and Cultural Center, an estimated $800,000 project with proposals due August 6, 2026 and a mandatory pre-proposal conference on July 9, 2026. The California African American Museum is requesting proposals for ongoing monthly marketing and communications consulting services under an RFP with proposals due July 22, 2026, supporting exhibitions, programs, and the museum's 50th anniversary and 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games initiatives. Issuing bodies span state cultural agencies, county park and recreation departments, city cultural and communications offices, and independent museum boards; ALPLM and the California African American Museum appear as active solicitors in the current cycle.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois, Florida, Georgia, California, and Texas. The City of Lawrenceville, Georgia posted an RFQ for design management and production services supporting its Office of Communications and Marketing on July 7, 2026, with qualifications due August 6, 2026, seeking a primary full-service design partner and on-call graphic design firms on an annual contract with four renewal options. The scope of work under this code ranges from turnkey exhibit fabrication and installation (ALPLM, Hillsborough County) requiring museum-quality craftsmanship, heavy-use durability, and integrated technology systems to specialized communications consulting (CAAM, Lawrenceville) supporting curatorial strategy and audience engagement. Vendors pursuing exhibit contracts must demonstrate prior museum exhibit experience, carry significant liability and performance bonding, and comply with on-site security and project-management protocols; communications firms must show 10 to 15 years of nonprofit arts and museum experience and maintain professional liability insurance. Cybersecurity and data-governance requirements are increasingly prominent in higher-value solicitations—Hillsborough County mandates NIST framework alignment, SOC 2 Type II compliance within twelve months, multi-factor authentication, and annual penetration testing for interactive display systems.
