NIGP 95935: Construction Services, General (Marine)

NIGP 95935 Construction Services, General (Marine) is an Item code tracking state and local procurement activity in marine infrastructure repair, restoration, and removal — work including derelict vessel removal, seawall replacement and stabilization, dock and pier construction and rehabilitation, dredging, and waterfront environmental restoration. State and local governments issue the majority of solicitations under this code as individual cities, counties, and special-purpose water authorities responding to aging infrastructure, storm damage, and environmental mitigation needs rather than as coordinated multi-jurisdiction programs. Florida jurisdictions — the City of Fort Myers, Escambia County, Monroe County, Sarasota County, Broward County, and Pinellas County Schools — dominate the recent opportunities, followed by activities in Washington State, California, Texas, Georgia, and Maryland. Representative current work includes the City of Fort Myers' RFP26067 for derelict vessel removal on a continuing contract with disaster-response capability (proposals due August 18, 2026), which spans removal of vessels designated derelict across Lee County and Fort Lauderdale, with unit pricing by vessel length and lump-sum emergency mobilization fees; Escambia County Marine Resources Division's multiple ITQs for individual derelict vessel flotation, removal, transport, and disposal to Perdido Landfill (quotes due July 20, 2026); and Broward County's IFB for the Deerfield Island ADA Dock (bids due July 15, 2026), covering installation of aluminum floating dock systems, concrete piling, and fire-protection infrastructure with extensive environmental and accessibility compliance.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in coastal Florida, where environmental permitting, derelict vessel removal grant programs through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, hurricane mitigation funding, and resilience retrofitting drive sustained demand. Washington State Parks, California coastal municipalities, and Texas General Land Office activities reflect dredging, pier demolition and rehabilitation, and emergency debris removal following natural disasters. Ongoing issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions operating marinas and public boat access facilities; city public works departments managing waterfront infrastructure; state environmental and parks agencies; special taxing districts; and school districts with waterfront campuses. The work mix shows no minimum-price threshold, with bids ranging from approximately $35,000 (navigational aid repairs in Sarasota County) to $7.4 million (Long Beach dredging rebid). Qualification requirements center on marine contractor licensing, diver certification where subsurface work is required, pile-driving specialty credentials, and extensive marine and pollution liability insurance. Prevailing wage compliance, Davis-Bacon requirements on federally funded projects, and environmental permits under Section 404 (U.S. Army Corps), state wetland rules, and FDEP best-management practices are standard. Activity remains robust across all quarters, with no indication of slowdown in coastal resilience spending or derelict vessel removal grant cycles.
