UNSPSC 24101802: Dock seals

UNSPSC 24101802 Dock seals, a Commodity code, covers the fabrication, installation, and replacement of floating dock segments, seals, and related hardware used in waterfront facilities. State and local governments procure these services primarily through counties and municipalities operating public waterfront infrastructure—boat landings, marinas, and recreational water-access facilities. The work includes aluminum floating dock segments with pontoons, pile guides, pile-guide rollers, cleats, bumpers, rub rail, and associated fastening hardware, typically installed at existing concrete pile foundations. Scope also encompasses pre-fabrication shop-drawing approval processes, delivery, and on-site installation with performance and payment bonds, often requiring compliance with small and minority business participation mandates.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly South Carolina and Georgia. Beaufort County, South Carolina has issued at least two IFBs: IFB #092326 for replacement of seven aluminum floating dock segments (20 feet by 8 feet each, with pontoons and HDPE pile-guide rollers) at the Broad River Boat Landing, bids due September 23, 2026, and IFB #100325 for comprehensive dock rehabilitation at Melrose Dock on Daufuskie Island with bids due October 3, 2025. The City of Stonecrest, Georgia solicited construction and installation of a floating kayak launch dock system at Everett Park under CITB-0011-26, bids due August 4, 2026. Clay County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an RFB for repairs and improvements at Knights Marina and Lake Shore Boat Ramp, bids due July 6, 2026. Bidders typically must carry $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability insurance, submit performance and payment bonds, comply with S/MBE documentation requirements, and meet firm-bid and liquidated-damages terms ranging from $250 to $1,000 per calendar day.
