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 (Commodity) appears in recent state and local solicitations primarily as support equipment for bridge construction and emergency utility work rather than as a primary procurement focus. The code sees minimal direct purchasing activity; instead, state and local agencies tag opportunities that require crane services as ancillary to larger civil infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show cranes deployed for bridge replacement (Orange County, Florida; Sarasota County, Florida; City of Palm Bay/Brevard County, Florida), emergency utility pole lifts (Keys Energy Services, Key West), rooftop equipment installation design (City of West Sacramento), and structural inspection support (Eastern Municipal Water District, California). A standalone Texas Department of Transportation procurement for self-propelled hydraulic 15-ton cranes (Solicitation 304T-26-601-5045, due February 5, 2026) represents the only recent direct equipment purchase under the code, seeking one unit with options for two additional units at the same price through August 31, 2026. The Orange County Transportation Authority RFQ 250039 for operated crane and rigging services (due December 9, 2025; contract value $50,000) calls for on-call support across nine facilities with 24/7 availability, two-hour emergency response, and prevailing wage requirements under California Labor Code.

Solicitation activity clusters in Florida (Orange County; Sarasota County; Brevard County; Keys Energy Services) and California (Orange County Transportation Authority; Eastern Municipal Water District; City of West Sacramento), with secondary activity in Wisconsin (Winnebago County concrete bridge repairs), New Jersey (Bergen County cooperative drainage and bridge repair services), and Texas (TxDOT crane purchase; City of Frisco recycling procurement). Counties, municipalities, transit authorities, and special-purpose water districts are the primary issuing bodies. Recent bridge and culvert repair solicitations—including Bergen County's 24-month cooperative purchasing agreement (BCBID2618, due May 7, 2026) requiring NJDOT pre-qualification and prevailing wage compliance—indicate steady demand for crane-enabled heavy infrastructure work, though few transactions isolate floating or deck cranes as line-item purchases. The code reflects low deal velocity and fragmented geographic distribution across multiple infrastructure sectors.
