NAICS 711510 contracts: questions vendors ask
What is NAICS code 711510?
NAICS 711510 is Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers. This industry comprises independent (i.e., freelance) individuals primarily engaged in performing in artistic productions, in creating artistic and cultural works or productions, or in providing technical expertise necessary for these productions. 71 federal contracts under this code end within 12 months.
How many federal contracts under NAICS 711510 are expiring?
71 prime contracts in Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers (NAICS 711510) reach the end of their current period of performance within 12 months: 8 within 30 days and 18 within 90. They are held by 55 different vendors and were bought by 10 agencies. The figures are counted from USAspending, the government’s own record of prime contract awards, and rebuilt nightly.
When does the next NAICS 711510 contract end?
The soonest ends on Oct 23, 2026. The table on this page lists the 10 soonest to end, in order, with the incumbent, the awarding agency, the end date and the amount obligated so far. An end date is the date in the award record, not a forecast.
Which agencies buy independent artists, writers, and performers?

Does an expiring contract mean a recompete is coming?
Not on its own. A period of performance that ends is work somebody has to win again, but agencies also extend, consolidate, insource or cancel, and the award record does not say which in advance. Findingbase shows the dates and a renewal score built from five fixed rules, with the reasons each one fired; it does not predict the outcome and does not publish solicitations. The solicitation, when there is one, appears on SAM.gov.
How this page is built
Every contract here comes from USAspending, the federal government’s own record of prime contract awards. A contract appears when its current period of performance ends within 365 days. The table lists the 10 soonest to end — not the largest, and not the highest scoring — so it is a sample of what is really coming rather than a showcase. Award identifiers link back to the source. This page was last rebuilt for Oct 20, 2026.
10 of the 10 contracts in the table above carry a renewal score, and 71 of the 71 in the whole list do. A contract with no score has not been through scoring yet: that is not a low score, it is no score. Scoring works through the soonest expiry dates first.
