NIGP 12043: Hydraulic Systems, Marine

NIGP 12043 Hydraulic Systems, Marine (Item) encompasses marine infrastructure maintenance and vessel equipment procurement, including dredging operations, marina and boat-ramp repairs, and specialized marine propulsion and stabilization equipment. State and local governments buying under this code solicit competitive bids for hydraulic dredging at coastal inlets, marina redevelopment and repair work, and specific marine vessel equipment such as outboard motors and gyro stabilizers. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, state natural-resources departments, and municipal government units. County governments appear most active in recent solicitations, with Collier County, Florida; Chatham County, Georgia; and Clay County, Florida all posting marine-focused work in the past quarter.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with broader geographic representation through state procurement entities. Representative opportunities include Collier County's sealed-bid dredging project for Wiggins Pass and Doctors Pass (Bid 268661R, due May 22, 2026) for $2,800,000 involving hydraulic dredging of approximately 122,000 cubic yards across two coastal inlet locations with a 90-day substantial-completion deadline and liquidated damages at $2,667 per day; Clay County's Request for Bid for Knights Marina and Lake Shore Boat Ramp repairs (Solicitation 2526089, due July 6, 2026) requiring qualified licensed contractors for marina construction work with performance and payment bonds; Chatham County's competitive bid for two new Mercury outboard motors for Marine Patrol operations (Solicitation 26-0038-4, due May 4, 2026); and the California Department of Water Resources' procurement of a marine gyro stabilizer for a 34-41 foot vessel with strict performance specifications (Solicitation 0000038183, due March 20, 2026). Local-vendor preference applies to at least one major dredging procurement; federal compliance including prevailing wage and FEMA Public Assistance standards governs grant-funded work.
