NIGP 95934: Construction Services: Boats, Barges, Ferries, Ships, etc.

NIGP 95934 Construction Services: Boats, Barges, Ferries, Ships, Etc., Item, frames work state and local governments are actually buying under this code: derelict vessel removal and disposal, new waterfront dock and marina construction, police boathouse facilities, and marine work boat procurement. The category encompasses floating, towing, and demolition of abandoned vessels; environmental remediation including fuel and hazardous material removal; new dock and pier installation with marine piles and concrete construction; and specialized marine infrastructure for public safety and recreation. Issuing bodies span Florida counties (Escambia, Hillsborough), Florida cities (Fort Myers, Cocoa, New Smyrna Beach), a Washington state ferry agency (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and a Texas water authority (Brazos River Authority). Escambia County Marine Resources Division appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple price quotes for individual derelict vessel removals under Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission grant funding throughout 2026.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Florida and reflect two dominant procurement patterns. Derelict vessel removal dominates the activity: Escambia County has solicited price quotes for multiple vessels (32-foot Islander near Pensacola Pass, 30-foot Morgan, 27-foot Watkins, 20-foot Four Winns, 16-foot Bowrider, 30-foot barge) with lump-sum pricing, seven-to-fourteen-day turnaround, and extensive marine insurance and environmental compliance requirements (Protection & Indemnity, Maritime Workers Compensation, Marine Pollution Liability all at $1 million per occurrence minimum). The City of Fort Myers issued RFP 26067 for derelict vessel removal services on a continuing five-year contract basis with disaster response capability, due November 10, 2026, using unit pricing by vessel size and emergency mobilization fees. New construction activity includes the City of Cocoa's sealed-bid project (B2610COC) for the Lee Wenner Day Docks—a new 300-foot fishing pier and day-slip marina with marine piles, concrete construction, and riprap revetment, due July 31, 2026 with a 5% Brevard County local preference. The City of New Smyrna Beach solicited sealed bids for a Police Boathouse Facility with timber dock, boat lift, and utility installation. Hillsborough County issued ITB 26-00402 for purchase of one marine safety work boat estimated at $400,000, due September 24, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited proposals (RFP 20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services supporting ferry operations across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026—a non-construction services outlier within the code.
