UNSPSC 24101800: Dock equipment

UNSPSC 24101800 Dock equipment (Class) encompasses the supply, installation, fabrication, and repair of floating docks, observation platforms, kayak launch systems, and associated waterside infrastructure for recreational and public-access projects. State and local governments solicit dock equipment through IFBs and RFBs issued by counties, cities, state parks and resource agencies, and special-purpose districts; recent activity shows repeat buyers including the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation and county-level parks and recreation authorities conducting floating-dock replacements and new-construction projects. The work typically includes design and fabrication of aluminum or steel-frame docks with composite or foam-filled flotation, gangways, decking systems, marine-grade hardware, and site-specific installation coordinating with existing piles, guide structures, and adjacent infrastructure. Contractors must hold relevant commercial fabrication or general construction licenses, demonstrate prior experience with similar floating-platform projects, and submit engineer-sealed shop drawings and design calculations meeting applicable Corps of Engineers and state boating-authority guidelines.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, California, Maryland, and Idaho. The City of Stonecrest, Georgia issued CITB-0011-26 on June 22, 2026, for kayak launch dock and parking-lot improvements at Everett Park with a mandatory pre-bid meeting July 8, 2026, and bid deadline August 4, 2026. Clay County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited bids for Knights Marina and Lakeshore Boat Ramp repairs with a July 6, 2026, deadline under RFB 2526089. The State of California Department of Parks and Recreation posted two nearly identical solicitations (S25650009) for boat boarding float replacement at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park—a 6-foot by 80-foot courtesy dock with marine-grade aluminum construction, foam-filled floats meeting ASTM standards, and integration with existing guide piles—with May 11–12, 2026, deadlines and 5% small-business and DVBE preferences. Pasco County, Florida issued IFB-SP-26-011 on March 25, 2026, for Withlacoochee River Park observation dock replacement featuring a floating platform, kayak launch, aluminum gangway, and composite sheet piling, with mandatory pre-bid April 7, 2026, and bid deadline April 28, 2026. The Idaho Department of Fish & Game solicited floating dock materials quotes (posted May 18, 2026; due June 2, 2026), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison posted a loading-dock equipment RFB for institutional facilities (due April 2, 2026).
