UNSPSC 24101642: Floating crane

A marine lifting machine used to move or construct materials on the water. It is mainly used in harbors and other waterway commercial and construction sites.

UNSPSC 24101642 Floating crane is a Commodity code covering mobile and stationary heavy-lift equipment and related servicing. State and local governments procure floating cranes and floating crane services primarily for emergency response, utility infrastructure repair, equipment installation and removal at water treatment and reclamation facilities, and industrial facility operations. Recent solicitations show these jurisdictions buying both operated crane and rigging services on an as-needed basis and annual maintenance, inspection, and certification contracts for existing crane fleets housed at municipal facilities.

Issuing bodies span municipal utilities, county governments, and special-purpose districts. Keys Energy Services (the electric utility serving Key West, Florida) issued an RFP in March 2026 for pre-negotiated crane services to support hurricane and disaster response, seeking firms capable of lifting and placing electric poles up to 25,000 pounds and 130 feet in length with FEMA compliance and 72-hour emergency response times, with the utility intending to award multiple contracts over a three-year base term. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) issued an RFQ in June 2026 for operated crane and rigging services across nine Southern California cities (Anaheim, Garden Grove, Irvine, Santa Ana, Brea, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Laguna Hills, Newport Beach) at an estimated value of $50,000 for one year, requiring 24/7 availability with two-hour emergency response and NCCCO-certified operators. Eastern Municipal Water District solicited proposals in August 2026 for quarterly inspections, annual certifications, and repairs for 48 overhead and mobile cranes at Riverside County facilities. Collier County issued an ITB in July 2026 for preventive maintenance and repair of 32 crane and hoist units across water reclamation and treatment facilities, with an anticipated annual spend of $50,000 and grant funding, offering local vendor preference under county ordinance. The City of Tucson issued an RFQ in August 2026 for annual preventive maintenance and hourly repair services for 33 pieces of overhead equipment across 14 city locations, with a not-to-exceed contract value of $100,000 and one year initial term plus four optional renewals. Recent activity concentrates in Florida, California, and Arizona, with secondary activity in Wisconsin. Most opportunities carry prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon compliance requirements where federal or state disaster-funding is involved, and many require proof of current OSHA and equipment-specific certifications.
