NIGP 12043: Hydraulic Systems, Marine

NIGP 12043 Hydraulic Systems, Marine, an Item code, encompasses marine dredging operations, hydraulic-powered equipment procurement for coastal and waterway infrastructure, and maintenance or retrofit services for proprietary marine hydraulic systems at ports and waterway facilities. State and local governments under this code purchase hydraulic dredges, hydraulic power units, crane systems with integrated hydraulic components, and engineering or repair services for manufacturer-specific equipment—reflecting a mix of capital-intensive coastal management, port operations, and marine vessel servicing. Issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County, Broward County, Clay County in Florida; Texas Parks and Wildlife Department), transit or port authorities managing maritime infrastructure, and municipalities with waterfront assets. Collier County appears twice in recent activity, soliciting identical maintenance dredging projects with back-to-back bid cycles in May and August 2026, signaling repeat or phased coastal restoration contracting.

Geographic concentration is marked in Florida, where Collier County (Wiggins Pass and Doctors Pass dredging), Broward County Port (ship-to-shore crane maintenance and parts for ZPMC and Konecranes equipment), the Town of Palm Beach (sand transfer plant crane support replacement), and Clay County (marina and boat ramp improvements) have issued solicitations between May and September 2026. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issued an IFB in August 2026 for a hydraulic oyster patent tong system and hydraulic power unit for the Dickinson Marine Lab, with bids due August 27, 2026. Sourcewell, on behalf of Washington state counties and multi-state participating entities, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment in May 2026 with responses due June 16, 2026. Recent opportunities reflect capital dredging contracts (Collier County's $2.8 million maintenance dredging, estimated at $940,066 for Palm Beach's crane and pipeline improvements), RFIs evaluating sole-source or sole-brand designation for existing equipment (Broward County's ZPMC and Konecranes inquiries), and competitive sealed bids for specialized marine hydraulic equipment and construction services.
