UNSPSC 93141712: Protection of intellectual or cultural property services

UNSPSC 93141712 Protection of intellectual or cultural property services (Commodity) spans public art acquisition, curatorial services, cultural programming, and creative production work that state and local agencies source to support community engagement, institutional missions, and asset development. Recent state and local solicitations show procurement activity concentrated in public art fabrication and installation, cultural and arts educational programming, graphic design and multimedia production, and event production services—work that extends well beyond traditional intellectual property protection into the operational delivery of cultural experiences and institutional communications.

State departments, county governments, cities, school districts, and universities issue under this code. Texas entities dominate recent activity: the Texas Department of Public Safety, Fort Bend Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, Harris County Precinct 1, and the City of Fairburn have all posted opportunities in the past four months. Florida procurement includes Palm Beach County's Aqua Crest Aquatic Complex tile-art commission (RFP41020190232721 and RFP41020190232722, due October 19–20, 2026) and Hillsborough County's multimedia graphic design services (ITB2600416, due October 5, 2026 for $188,928 over three years). Illinois and Georgia also show activity through the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum's exhibit fabrication RFP (bids due August 17, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid July 23) and the City of Lawrenceville's design management RFQ (due August 6, 2026). Michigan State Police posted a Computer Aided Dispatch SaaS RFP (due November 12, 2026) that appears misclassified under this code. Representative opportunities include Fort Bend ISD's out-of-school enrichment programming (RFP 27008LB, due November 10, 2026), Dallas ISD's cultural experiences and arts production services (RFP SW250353, three-year term with three-year renewal option, proposals due September 10, 2026), and the City of Fairburn's public mural design and installation (IFB 26-020, due August 25, 2026). Set-asides vary by issuer: Palm Beach County applies a 5-point local preference, Dallas ISD imposes a 30 percent Small Business Enterprise participation goal on visual and performing arts materials, and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum requires a 23 percent Business Enterprise Program set-aside for fabrication work.
