UNSPSC 93141718: Cultural heritage survey indicator service

Investigation service to verify whether or not the cultural heritage artifact is buried.

UNSPSC 93141718 Cultural heritage survey indicator service is a Commodity code that encompasses archival assessment, documentation, and preservation services for built heritage, archaeological sites, and institutional collections held by public institutions. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show actual procurement spanning library system infrastructure projects, digital preservation platforms, archaeological mitigation work, and book collection assessment—services that support cultural institutions' compliance with preservation standards and long-term stewardship of physical and digital assets. The issuing-body mix includes county library systems (Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Ventura County), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Pinellas County Schools), university systems (Georgia State University under the Board of Regents), state library agencies (Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives), and special-purpose districts (Summit County Heritage and Landmark Commission, Washington County Water Conservancy District). Library and archives procurement dominates the recent activity, with school districts and special-use jurisdictions pursuing related assessment and digitization work.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Florida (multiple county and school district library procurements), California (San Mateo County, Ventura County), Kentucky (state-level library services and technology planning), Utah (local heritage surveys and archaeological mitigation), Georgia (university digital preservation), Oregon (periodicals and library systems), and Texas (county library e-content). Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County's ITB for 50 Kingsley C-Series book return carts with weather protection and ADA compliance (due July 24, 2026), the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office RFP for library, chaplaincy, and jail services at two correctional facilities (proposals due July 30, 2026 with mandatory pre-proposal meeting July 14), Georgia State University's eRFP for a cloud-based digital preservation system with 10-year potential engagement (due March 31, 2026), and Summit County's RFP for reconnaissance-level archaeological survey of historic structures in eastern county areas within a $20,000 budget (proposals due February 19, 2026). The code sees steady activity across public library systems' collection management needs, archival preservation requirements, and heritage documentation work tied to land transactions and infrastructure projects.
