UNSPSC 22101514: Dredgers

UNSPSC 22101514 Dredgers is a Commodity code covering sediment removal, equipment, and restoration services that state and local governments procure to maintain navigable waterways, manage stormwater infrastructure, and repair erosion-prone shorelines and embankments. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipalities, airport authorities, and special districts performing maintenance dredging on natural and manmade lakes, coastal waterways, and stormwater retention ponds. The work involves hydraulic dredging of accumulated sediment and debris, pond embankment restoration, erosion stabilization with revetment systems, shoreline reinforcement, and associated site restoration—all performed under prevailing-wage requirements, security and environmental compliance standards, and bonding and insurance mandates typical of water infrastructure contracts.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, where the City of Orlando issued RFP 260204 for hydraulic dredging services on an as-needed basis across city-managed lakes with Davis Bacon wage requirements; the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) posted IFB 26-995-IFB on October 5, 2026, for stormwater pond dredging and embankment restoration at Orlando International Airport involving approximately 41,500 cubic yards of sediment removal in the base bid, with a mandatory site visit on September 24, 2026, bids due October 23, 2026, a combined 2 percent Local Developing Business and Veteran Business Enterprise participation goal, and contract duration of 210 calendar days to substantial completion; the City of Sebastian, Florida, posted ITB 26-17 for boat ramp dredging and shoreline stabilization with a pre-bid meeting on June 16, 2026, and bids due July 9, 2026; and the City of Casselberry posted ITB 2026-1468 on September 21, 2026, for post-hurricane erosion control and drainage reconstruction at two city locations under $623,345 engineering estimate with substantial completion required within 70 consecutive calendar days of Notice to Proceed. Recent opportunities also include unrelated law enforcement equipment and pavement rehabilitation solicitations tagged under this code, indicating some classification misalignment in state and local systems.
