UNSPSC 94111700: Religious residences

UNSPSC 94111700 Religious residences is a Class code that encompasses facilities and services supporting religious communities, though the recent state and local activity under this code shows a significant mismatch between the nominal scope and what is actually being procured. The four most recent opportunities posted under this code span irrigation system improvements for a municipal park, correctional-facility chaplaincy and library services, Shariah-compliance consulting for an education savings program, and kosher food-preparation inspection services. Only the chaplaincy services component of the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office RFP aligns clearly with religious residences; the other three solicitations address park infrastructure, educational consulting, and food inspection with no connection to residential or congregational facilities. The issuing bodies include a Florida city (DeBary), a California county sheriff's office, a Washington state education agency, and a Colorado county, indicating that when the code does see activity, it comes from diverse government levels rather than a concentrated set of repeat buyers.

The geographic spread across Florida, California, Washington, and Colorado reflects scattered activity with no regional concentration. The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office RFP 2026-RFP-00580, due July 30, 2026, is the only truly on-scope opportunity, soliciting library, chaplaincy, and jail supportive services at two adult correctional facilities with local procurement preferences (five percent for local businesses and nonprofits, plus three to five percent for small or micro businesses). The City of DeBary's irrigation-system bid (Solicitation 0315, due April 10, 2015 — a stale posting despite its October 2026 posting date) and the other non-religious opportunities suggest that the code may be capturing misfiled solicitations rather than a coherent product or service family. Firms should verify code relevance directly with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit, as the nominal code scope does not accurately reflect current procurement activity.
