UNSPSC 94112000: Denominational services

UNSPSC 94112000 Denominational services is a Class code that encompasses religious programming, chaplaincy support, and faith-based auxiliary services purchased by state and local correctional and social-service agencies. The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office RFP 2026RFP00580, posted July 3, 2026 with a response deadline of July 30, 2026, illustrates the actual scope: the County is soliciting proposals for chaplaincy services including religious services programming, chaplain rosters across denominations, religious materials, and special requests at two adult correctional facilities in Redwood City. State and local buyers under this code are primarily corrections departments and county sheriffs' offices operating detention facilities, which contract for multi-denominational chaplain rosters, religious program coordination, and inmate religious accommodation. The San Mateo solicitation includes a cooperative purchasing clause allowing other organizations to utilize any resulting agreement, a structure common when service demand is episodic across jurisdictions.

The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is the primary recent issuer visible in the code, seeking three integrated service areas—library, chaplaincy, and jail supportive services—under a single RFP with a one-year initial term and two one-year renewal options at the County's discretion. The solicitation requires four years of similar service experience within the last seven years and applies local procurement preferences: five percent additional evaluation points for local businesses and nonprofits, with incremental bonuses for small and micro enterprises. The County mandated a pre-proposal meeting on July 14, 2026, and tentatively scheduled interviews for August 5, 2026, with anticipated contract award by August 20, 2026. The second and third opportunities in the source—Grand County, Colorado's kosher food inspection solicitation and the City of DeBary, Florida's park irrigation project—appear to be misclassified under this code and do not reflect actual denominational-services procurement activity.
