UNSPSC 24101805: Dock bumpers

UNSPSC 24101805 Dock bumpers, a Commodity code, covers rubber, plastic, or composite protective devices installed on dock structures to absorb impact and protect vessels, dock infrastructure, and personnel. State and local governments procure dock bumpers as components within broader dock construction, repair, and rehabilitation projects—not typically as standalone consumables. Recent solicitations show bumpers specified as replacement hardware in dock modernization efforts where deteriorated or missing bumpers pose safety and operational hazards to public waterfront facilities.

Issuing bodies include county governments (Beaufort County, South Carolina; Clay County, Florida; Ventura County, California), municipalities (City of Stonecrest, Georgia; City of Dunwoody, Georgia), and state natural-resource agencies (Idaho Department of Fish & Game). Beaufort County appears twice in recent activity, both soliciting dock replacement and repair work at public boat landings. The geographic footprint spans South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and Idaho, with the largest recent volume in the Southeast. Representative opportunities include Beaufort County's Broad River Boat Landing Floating Dock Replacement (IFB #092626, due September 23, 2026), which specifies replacement of aluminum cleats and dock hardware as part of a comprehensive floating-dock overhaul; Beaufort County's Melrose Dock Repairs (IFB #100325, due October 3, 2025), which includes replacement of cleats, bumpers, and hardware on a deteriorated barge structure rated Poor by inspection; and Clay County's Knights Marina & Lake Shore Boat Ramp Repair, Redevelopment and Improvements (RFB #2526089, due July 6, 2026), which encompasses marina dock work with plans and specifications across multiple attachments. None of these solicitations treat bumpers as a primary line item; they are bundled into lump-sum dock construction or repair contracts where S/MBE participation, performance bonds, and liquidated-damage clauses are standard terms.
