UNSPSC 24101806: Dock ladders

UNSPSC 24101806 Dock ladders is a Commodity code that covers installation and construction of waterfront recreational infrastructure—specifically floating dock systems, kayak launch platforms, and associated waterfront access improvements—as sourced from recent state and local procurement activity. State and local governments soliciting under this code include city planning departments, county commissioners, and special-purpose authorities managing parks, marinas, and waterfront facilities. The work typically encompasses design and installation of floating observation platforms, kayak and canoe launch systems with gangways, aluminum or composite sheet piling, concrete approach paths, site grading, erosion control, landscaping, and coordination with environmental permitting agencies including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and state water-quality regulators.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, California, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Stonecrest's CITB-0011-26 for kayak launch dock installation at Everett Park (IFB due August 4, 2026), Clay County Board of County Commissioners' request for marina and boat-ramp repairs at Knights Marina and Lakeshore Boat Ramp (RFB due July 6, 2026), Pasco County, Florida's IFB-SP-26-011 for the Withlacoochee River Park Observation Dock replacement with floating platform and kayak launch (IFB due April 28, 2026), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison's 2026-UWMSN-01232-RFB for loading dock equipment and maintenance (RFB due April 2, 2026). Typical requirements include mandatory pre-bid meetings, performance and payment bonds at 100% of contract value, five-percent bid bonds, liquidated damages for schedule delays, compliance with FDOT or state construction standards, and references demonstrating prior waterfront or marina construction experience in the relevant state.
