UNSPSC 60101811: Vestments

UNSPSC 60101811 Vestments is a Commodity code that captures faith-related apparel and spiritual items state and local governments procure for resale to incarcerated or institutionalized populations. The recent posting record shows vestments are sourced alongside broader faith and spiritual supply categories—Bibles, prayer rugs, yarmulkes, medicine bags, and sage—rather than as narrow apparel items alone. The Colorado Department of Corrections is the dominant issuer on record, having posted two RFQs in May and June 2026 requesting faith items for canteen resale to offenders at the East Canon Prison Complex. These solicitations treat vestments and faith supplies as a bundled procurement category, with vendors allowed to quote any or all items from a product list. Products must be plastic-packaged (glass and metal prohibited), alcohol-free, and include ingredient lists; samples (3–5 units at bidder expense) require evaluation by the Canteen Review Committee for security risks and religious appropriateness before award. Pricing allows one adjustment during the initial Letter of Agreement term and up to two annual adjustments thereafter, with 60-day advance notice and written staff approval required for increases. Delivery is constrained to Monday–Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, via ground transport or prepaid parcel carrier, with drivers requiring CDOC criminal background clearance. Award terms span July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with potential renewal for up to two additional one-year periods.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Colorado, with no other state or local jurisdictions visible in the recent opportunities record. The Colorado Department of Corrections RFQs (RFQCFCA20260000062 and RFQCFCA20260000061) posted in May and June 2026 with response deadlines of June 9 and June 16, 2026 represent the only relevant recent solicitations under this code. The third opportunity on record (Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP for Washington counties) and the fourth (City of DeBary irrigation improvements) are unrelated to vestments or faith items and appear to be miscoded. No repeat buyers beyond the Colorado Department of Corrections appear in the source material, and no other state or local agency activity is evident.
