NIGP 12035 Docks and Piers, Fixed and Floating (Including Dock Systems, Gangways, Marinas, Wharfs, Etc.), an Item code, covers the demolition, construction, and maintenance of waterfront dock infrastructure that state and local governments procure for public recreational and operational access.

Issuing bodies span counties (Glynn County Georgia, Palm Beach County Florida, Beaufort County South Carolina, Brevard County Florida, Collier County Florida, Clay County Florida, Hillsborough County Florida), cities (Tampa, Bridgeport Connecticut, Stonecrest Georgia, Detroit), state parks departments (Texas Parks and Wildlife), and county park recreation divisions. Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple IFBs under Project 2026ERM01 for Old Bridge Park fixed dock construction between late July and late August 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Palm Beach, Brevard, Hillsborough, Clay counties and City of Tampa) and South Carolina (Beaufort County), with additional recent solicitations in Georgia (Glynn County, Columbia County, City of Stonecrest), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Michigan (Detroit), and Texas (state parks).
