UNSPSC 24101809: Dock rails or accessories

UNSPSC 24101809 Dock rails or accessories (Commodity) encompasses floating dock systems, gangways, kayak launch platforms, and composite sheet piling installations that state and local governments procure primarily for recreational waterfront infrastructure and marine facility improvements. Recent solicitations show a focus on observation decks, boat ramp facilities, kayak launch systems, and waterfront park access projects rather than traditional dock rail components. Work includes structural design, materials procurement, installation, and coordination with environmental permitting agencies (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, state environmental protection divisions, Fish and Wildlife Service). Issuing bodies are diverse: municipal parks departments (City of Stonecrest, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida), county marine and recreation facilities (Clay County, Florida), and specialized waterfront authorities (Ventura County Harbor Department, California). Educational institutions also source under this code — the University of Wisconsin-Madison recently solicited loading dock equipment, installation, and maintenance services, indicating the code captures dock-related work across multiple facility types.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, California, and Wisconsin. Representative solicitations include the City of Stonecrest's CITB-0011-26 (posted June 22, 2026, due August 4, 2026), a floating kayak launch system and parking lot improvement at Everett Park; Pasco County's IFB-SP-26-011 Withlacoochee River Park Observation Dock (posted March 25, 2026, due April 28, 2026), a 480-square-foot floating platform with kayak launch, gangway, and composite sheet piling; and Clay County's RFB 2526089 for Knights Marina and Lake Shore Boat Ramp Repair (posted June 22, 2026, due July 6, 2026). School District U-46 in Illinois issued invitation to bid 4182526 for Streamwood High School Loading Dock Replacement (posted March 2, 2026, due March 24, 2026). Ventura County Harbor Department's HD2602 Harbor Westside Parking Lots Phase 1 (posted January 28, 2026, due February 13, 2026) represents the lower end of dock-adjacent work. Most solicitations require bid bonds (5–10% of bid), performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of contract value, and compliance with state prevailing wage and environmental permitting requirements. Mandatory pre-bid meetings and site visits are standard; response windows typically range from two to six weeks.
