UNSPSC 94111900: Missionary services

UNSPSC 94111900 Missionary services is a Class code that in state and local procurement practice encompasses chaplaincy and religious programming services delivered within correctional facilities, rather than traditional missionary outreach work. The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office RFP for library, chaplaincy, and jail supportive services illustrates the operational scope: chaplaincy services include religious services programming, chaplain rosters across multiple denominations, religious materials provision, and accommodation of special religious requests for incarcerated populations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code appear limited to correctional authorities and detention operators, with chaplaincy services bundled alongside complementary facility support functions such as law library management, indigent support, and reentry coordination. The code sees activity primarily from county sheriff's offices and county detention systems serving as the contracting entities.

The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office posted RFP 2026RFP00580 on July 3, 2026, with proposals due July 30, 2026, seeking chaplaincy services at two adult correctional facilities in Redwood City under a one-year initial term with a potential two-year extension at the County's discretion. Mandatory pre-proposal meeting was scheduled for July 14, 2026 via Microsoft Teams, with contract award anticipated by August 20, 2026. Local procurement preferences apply—five percent additional evaluation points for local businesses and local nonprofits, with incremental bonuses for small or micro businesses and nonprofits. Proposers must demonstrate four years of similar service experience within the last seven years and provide an account manager with two years of relevant experience within the past five years. The other two recent opportunities tagged to this code—Grand County, Colorado's May 2026 kosher food preparation inspection solicitation and the City of DeBary, Florida's 2015 irrigation system project—bear no operational relationship to missionary or chaplaincy services and reflect code tagging misalignment rather than representative activity under the classification.
