UNSPSC 20141706: Marine and offshore installations

Offshore construction is the installation of structures and facilities in a marine environment, usually for the production and transmission of electricity, oil, gas and other resources.

UNSPSC 20141706 Marine and offshore installations (Commodity) encompasses pile installation, marine structure fabrication and modification, dredging operations, and associated environmental and engineering services that state and local water agencies, environmental service authorities, and park departments buy to build or maintain waterfront infrastructure. State and local governments under this code procure marine construction services including structural pile driving with rock socketing, wave screens and protective barriers, dredging with material transport, and integrated monitoring and survey work to support compliance with environmental regulations and structural standards. Issuing bodies include state park systems, environmental service authorities, county governments, and water management districts seeking to upgrade mooring infrastructure, maintain navigation channels, install pollution-control equipment at marine facilities, and construct or repair waterfront structures in compliance with federal and state prevailing wage, environmental protection, and accessibility standards.

Recent activity shows procurement concentrated in Washington state and Maryland. The State of Washington Department of Parks and Recreation posted RFP NWBC043 due June 16, 2026 for procurement and installation of two galvanized steel piles at Sucia Island Marine State Park, requiring rock socketing to minimum 10-foot bedrock embedment, marine mammal and protected-species monitoring, and construction surveying, with submissions through the MRSC Bonfire Procurement Portal. The Maryland Environmental Service issued IFB 1265195 due February 26, 2026 for mechanical dredging of approximately 55 cubic yards at Poplar Island in Talbot County, including wave screen design and installation, with mandatory site visit on February 9, 2026, and award restricted to small-business vendors certified by the Governor's Office of Small, Minority & Women Business Affairs. A Sourcewell cooperative RFP posted May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026 is tagged to this code but shows no substantive relevance to marine or offshore installation work, representing a classification mismatch rather than representative activity.
