UNSPSC 60106500: Religious supplies

Materials that symbolize religions, religious beliefs or are used in performing religious ceremonies.

UNSPSC 60106500 Religious supplies, a Class code, encompasses faith-related items state and local governments procure for institutional use, primarily through correctional facility canteen operations and resale programs. The Colorado Department of Corrections has posted two recent RFQs (RFQCFCA20260000061 and RFQCFCA20260000062) requesting Bibles, Qur'ans, prayer rugs, yarmulkes, medicine bags, sage, and spiritual supplies across Christian, Islamic, Jewish, and Native American traditions for delivery to Canon City. State and local buyers under this code include correctional departments managing inmate canteen services; the recent activity shows a single issuing body (Colorado Department of Corrections) pursuing multiple tranches of the same commodity class rather than fragmented demand across many jurisdictions.

Activity under this code is currently concentrated in Colorado, with both recent solicitations from the Colorado Department of Corrections with response dates in June 2026. The department requires all products in plastic (glass and metal prohibited), samples submitted at bidder expense for Canteen Review Committee evaluation (which meets monthly and assesses security risks and religious appropriateness), and delivery Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MST to the East Canon Prison Complex warehouse. Vendors must register with the Colorado Secretary of State, complete criminal background investigations, and provide drivers capable of passing CDOC background clearance. Contract terms run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with renewal options up to three years total, and pricing allows one adjustment during the initial term and up to two annual adjustments thereafter, provided 60 days' notice and written Canteen staff approval. SDVOSB certification is requested but not mandatory.
