Every meeting I have with a colo provider I suggest this exact idea.
Patch cables (cat5, single mode, multi-mode), fiber couplers, maybe
even SFP's, velcro ties, a 10-in-1 screwdriver, etc.

I'd say skip the colo provider, and look for vending machine companies.

The colo provider's unlikely to go to the bother of digging up somebody
to provide the vending machines and contents, but seems likely to be
quite interested if the thing's provided to them as a package...

the colo provider may not want to 'waste' electricity/cooling on a
vending machine...
