UNSPSC 94111800: Pilgrimage organizations and services

UNSPSC 94111800 Pilgrimage organizations and services is a Class code that, based on recent state and local activity, shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code involve jail chaplaincy and supportive services (San Mateo County Sheriff's Office), kosher food inspection (Grand County, Colorado), and park irrigation system installation (City of DeBary, Florida). Only the San Mateo County chaplaincy component bears tangential connection to pilgrimage-related services; the other two are unrelated to religious or pilgrimage travel services. The San Mateo opportunity does solicit chaplaincy services across multiple denominations, religious materials management, and religious programming at correctional facilities, which falls within the broader category of faith-based supportive services, though not pilgrimage travel or organization.

San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is the repeat or standout issuing body in the recent record, soliciting library, chaplaincy, and jail supportive services through RFP 2026RFP00580 with proposals due July 30, 2026 and a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on July 14, 2026. The solicitation applies local procurement preferences (five percent for local businesses and nonprofits, plus three to five percent for small or micro entities) and carries a one-year initial term with one County option to extend up to two years. Geographic activity is sparse and scattered: California (San Mateo County), Colorado (Grand County), and Florida (DeBary). The code shows little relevant recent activity overall; the mismatch between the code name and the opportunities posted suggests either miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or that this code rarely draws state and local solicitation activity aligned with its nominal pilgrimage-organization scope.
