UNSPSC 60101809: Religious product kits or supplies

UNSPSC 60101809 Religious product kits or supplies is a Commodity code that encompasses faith-specific items for institutional resale and religious observance in correctional, institutional, and community settings. Based on recent state and local activity, the code captures supplies such as Bibles, Qur'ans, prayer rugs, yarmulkes, medicine bags, sage, and related spiritual items packaged for secure distribution or retail resale. State departments of corrections drive the most visible recent activity under this code, specifically through canteen-supply operations that serve incarcerated populations across multiple faith traditions. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments and occasionally cities or special-purpose districts procuring for park or facility operations, though the volume of recent opportunities under this specific code is limited.

The Colorado Department of Corrections posted two separate RFQ notices in May and June 2026 (RFQ 2026000061 and RFQ 2026000062) for faith items to supply canteen services at the East Canon Prison Complex, with response deadlines of June 9 and June 16, 2026 respectively. Both RFQs specify delivery to Canon City, Colorado, require product samples submitted for Canteen Review Committee evaluation prior to award, mandate plastic-only packaging without glass or metal, and stipulate criminal background clearance for delivery drivers. Contract terms run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with potential renewal for up to two additional one-year periods; pricing is firm for at least 180 days from award with one price adjustment during the initial term and up to two annual adjustments thereafter, subject to written Canteen staff approval. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business certification is requested but not mandated. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the current dataset; the one additional record in the source (City of DeBary irrigation improvements) is miscoded and unrelated to religious supplies.
