NIGP 95936: Crane Maintenance and Repair, Marine

NIGP 95936 Crane Maintenance And Repair, Marine is an Item code encompassing floating, removal, structural repair, and disposal of derelict vessels; inspection and certification of overhead and mobile cranes; and specialized repair and maintenance services for marine crane systems and lift equipment. State and local governments use this code to address aging vessel liability, maintain hoisting infrastructure across municipal water systems and ports, and manage emergency crane system restoration following accidents or extended service intervals.

Escambia County Marine Resources Division dominates recent activity under this code, posting six derelict-vessel removal solicitations between March and July 2026 to support applications to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Derelict Vessel Removal Grant program. The county solicits floating, removal, transport, and disposal services for individual vessels via Invitation to Quote, with response deadlines typically seven to ten days from posting. Beyond Escambia County, municipal water districts and county fleet services divisions are active buyers: the Eastern Municipal Water District (California) issued RFP 3915 for quarterly, annual, and quadrennial inspections of forty-eight overhead and mobile cranes across nineteen facilities; Fayette County (Georgia) requested crane inspection services for its water system; the City of Cincinnati sought as-needed crane services for barrier dam and treatment plant operations; and Broward County (Florida) posted an open-end indefinite-quantity contract for Altec aerial device parts, diagnostics, and repair services. Representative recent opportunities include Escambia County's Invitation to Quote for floating and removal of a 32-foot Catalina vessel (WM2638) grounded near Pensacola Pass, due July 20, 2026; Eastern Municipal Water District's RFP for overhead crane inspection and certification across five-year initial term, proposals due April 9, 2026; and Broward County's solicitation for Altec crane repair and maintenance on open-end contract structure, due March 16, 2026. Activity is geographically concentrated in Florida (Escambia County, Broward County), California (Eastern Municipal Water District), and Georgia (Fayette County, DeKalb County), with secondary activity in Ohio (Cincinnati). Marine-specific insurance requirements—Protection & Indemnity, Maritime Workers Compensation, and Marine Pollution Liability—are mandatory across all derelict-vessel removals; hoisting equipment inspection work emphasizes ANSI/OSHA certification, California contractors' licensing (C-10 and D-21), and manufacturer authorization for Altec systems.
