UNSPSC 60101806: Holy emblems or symbols

UNSPSC 60101806 Holy emblems or symbols is a Commodity code that captures religious and faith items sold through state and local procurement channels, though recent activity under this code shows minimal alignment between the nominal scope and what is actually being solicited. The Colorado Department of Corrections has posted the only substantive recent opportunities under the code—two RFQs for faith items (Bibles, Qur'ans, prayer rugs, yarmulkes, medicine bags, sage, and other spiritual supplies) for resale through its Canteen Services operation to incarcerated individuals. Both solicitations emphasize security compliance (plastic-only packaging, no glass or metal, no alcohol), religious diversity across Christian, Islamic, Jewish, and Native American traditions, and mandatory sample submission for Canteen Review Committee evaluation prior to award. The contract term runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with renewal options up to three years total at the state's discretion. Pricing is the primary award consideration, and one price adjustment is permitted during the initial Letter of Agreement term, with up to two annual adjustments thereafter subject to written approval. SDVOSB certification is requested but not mandated.

Recent activity is limited to Colorado, with the two faith-items RFQs due in June 2026 (RFQ 2026000061 due June 9, 2026, and RFQ 2026000062 due June 16, 2026). A third opportunity posted under the code—the City of DeBary, Florida's April 2015 irrigation-system improvement project (Bid 03-15)—is unrelated to the code's nominal scope and appears to be a classification mismatch. The code shows no meaningful recent solicitation activity from state departments, counties, school districts, transit authorities, or special-purpose districts outside of Colorado corrections, and the narrow issuing-body base and geographic concentration limit market opportunity under this taxonomy.
