NIGP 120: Boats, Motors, and Marine Equipment

NIGP 120 Boats, Motors, and Marine Equipment, Class code, encompasses state and local procurement of derelict vessel removal and disposal services, specialized work boats and patrol vessels, marine repair and refurbishment, and aquaculture support watercraft—reflecting a shift from the legacy taxonomy toward environmental remediation and operational marine services. The mix of issuing bodies spans county marine resources divisions (Escambia County leading with at least seven derelict vessel removal quotes across August and June 2026), state wildlife and natural resources agencies (Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources), municipal fire and transit authorities (Palm Bay, Hillsborough County, Sarasota County), and school districts, with significant repeat activity from Florida's Gulf Coast counties pursuing grant-funded environmental cleanup. Geographic concentration remains heavy in Florida (Escambia, Clay, Orange, Sarasota, and Brevard counties), with secondary activity in Maine, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, and New Jersey; the code sees sporadic municipal and county work across the Southeast and Upper Midwest.

Recent opportunities reflect operational and remediation work: Escambia County Marine Resources Division has issued multiple Invitations to Quote for floating, removal, and disposal of derelict vessels (27' Watkins, 32' Islander, 30' Morgan, 16' Bowrider, 20' Four Winns, and related craft) funded through Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Derelict Vessel Removal Grants, with lump-sum pricing, strict best management practices, and marine liability insurance requirements ($1 million per occurrence minimum Protection & Indemnity, Maritime Workers Compensation, and Marine Pollution Liability each). State of Maine has issued multiple RFQs for turnkey Lund boat packages (1650 Adventurer, 1675/2075 Alaskan, Lund 1875 Alaskan SS) for Warden Service field operations, with delivery to coastal and inland facilities and firm pricing guaranteed for 180 days. The City of St. Petersburg, Florida issued an RFQ for 28-foot 2012 Brunswick Impact 850 inflatable boat re-tubing and Yamaha 250 HP engine service (estimated $40,305.98), while the State of Colorado CPW and Maine IFW solicited specialized aluminum V-hull work boats with Yamaha/Mercury outboards and integrated electronics. Sarasota County Transit requested Buy America Audit and in-plant inspection services for 11 Chevrolet Arboc ParaTransit vehicles (capped at $50,000, due October 26, 2026, RFQ format). The City of Palm Bay issued ITB 54-ITB-26 for pond improvements including dredging, riprap, aeration, and wetland construction (Florida Department of Environmental Protection grant, $550,000, due October 27, 2026). Hillsborough County Boards sought a single marine safety work boat (estimated $400,000, ITB ITB-26-00402, September 24 due date). Sole-source procurements in the code include the State of Colorado CPW's Smith-Root SR-16HX APEX Electrofishing Vessel ($126,421.70, July 17, 2026 challenge deadline) and the City of Salem, Oregon's 2027 Solar 480 DJT Explorer boat ($11,999, Explore AK Services, August 6, 2026 award date). Activity is driven by environmental compliance, grant funding cycles (FWC, DHS/FEMA Port Security Grant Program, Florida Department of Environmental Protection), and renewal of aging operational fleets; pricing is largely lump-sum fixed-price, with multi-year terms common for state and school district acquisitions and short turnaround (7–14 calendar days) typical for derelict-vessel removal.
