UNSPSC 60101808: Prayer wheels

UNSPSC 60101808 Prayer wheels (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. The Colorado Department of Corrections issued two RFQs in May and June 2026 for faith items to supply canteen services to incarcerated individuals, including Bibles, Qur'ans, prayer rugs, yarmulkes, medicine bags, sage, and spiritual supplies across Christian, Islamic, Jewish, and Native American traditions—none of which are prayer wheels. The remaining recent opportunities in the dataset (a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment and a City of DeBary irrigation system improvement project) are unrelated to the UNSPSC code's nominal scope. The code shows no recent activity aligned with prayer wheel procurement at the state and local level.

The two Colorado Department of Corrections RFQs (RFQCFCA20260000061 and RFQCFCA20260000062, with response dates of June 9, 2026 and June 16, 2026 respectively) represent the only relevant activity in the dataset. Both solicitations cover faith-related items for resale through canteen operations at the East Canon Prison Complex in Colorado, with deliveries required Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MST. Bidders must submit 3–5 product samples at their own expense for evaluation by the Canteen Review Committee, which assesses items for security risks, religious affiliations, and appropriateness. All products must be packaged in plastic containers, free of glass, metal, and alcohol. The contract term runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with potential renewal for up to two additional one-year periods. Standard Colorado state procurement requirements apply, including registration with the Colorado Secretary of State, tax compliance certification, certificates of insurance with $1 million commercial general liability coverage, and Enhanced Criminal Background Investigation within 30 days of notification.
