NIGP 95942: Docking and Stevedoring Services

NIGP 95942 Docking and Stevedoring Services, an Item code, encompasses the design, construction, and improvement of water-access infrastructure — kayak launch docks, boat ramps, marinas, and associated shoreline facilities — that state and local governments procure to expand recreational and commercial waterfront access. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies purchasing floating dock systems, boat-ramp repairs and reconstruction, seawall work, and marina redevelopment as fixed-price construction projects. The work spans regulatory coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and state environmental agencies, erosion control, site preparation, and operational completion within defined timeframes. Issuing bodies include city parks departments, county commissioners, and county recreation authorities; Clay County Board of County Commissioners and the City of Stonecrest, Georgia appear in recent activity.
