UNSPSC 24101807: Dock plates

UNSPSC 24101807 Dock plates, a Commodity code, describes specialized boarding and access equipment for water-based recreation and marine operations, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing dock construction and improvement projects that span floating observation platforms, kayak launch systems, and integrated waterfront infrastructure rather than discrete plate components. State and local governments procuring under this code include counties (Clay County Board of Commissioners, Pasco County), cities (City of Stonecrest), higher education institutions (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and special-purpose harbor authorities (County of Ventura Harbor Department). The work ranges from floating observation dock systems with composite sheet piling and aluminum gangways to kayak launch facilities with concrete approach paths and site restoration, plus standalone loading dock equipment maintenance and installation services at institutional facilities.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, California, and Wisconsin. Representative solicitations include the City of Stonecrest (Georgia) IFB for Everett Park Parking Lot Improvement and Installation of a Kayak Launch Dock, due August 4, 2026, encompassing a floating kayak launch system with site grading, drainage, and regulatory compliance across a floodway with wetlands; Pasco County (Florida) IFB Number IFB-SP-26-011 for Withlacoochee River Park Observation Dock, due April 28, 2026, requiring a 480-square-foot floating observation platform with kayak launch and composite sheet piling under FDOT standards; Clay County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) RFB 2526089 for Knight's Marina & Lake Shore Boat Ramp Repair, Redevelopment and Improvements, due July 6, 2026, requiring performance and payment bonds; and University of Wisconsin-Madison RFB 2026-UWMSN-01232-RFB for Loading Dock Equipment, Installation, Maintenance, and Repair, due April 2, 2026. Waterfront dock projects typically demand mandatory pre-bid meetings, performance and payment bonds at 100% of contract value, permitting coordination with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and state environmental agencies, and compliance with FDOT or equivalent standards.
