UNSPSC 25111500: Commercial marine craft

UNSPSC 25111500 Commercial marine craft is a Class code covering the purchase and delivery of specialized watercraft for state and local law enforcement, resource management, and recreational programs. State and local governments buy fully equipped patrol boats, rescue vessels, fishing and work boats, shallow-draft mud boats, ski boats, airboats, and pedal boats—typically as complete packages with engines, trailers, and integrated electronics. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies including county sheriffs' departments (Chatham County, Georgia and Orange County, California), state wildlife and conservation agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and Maine Department of Marine Resources), county parks and recreation departments (Volusia County and Collier County, Florida; Jackson County, Missouri), and municipal transit or harbor authorities. Law enforcement represents the dominant use case, with significant activity also in fish-and-wildlife management and public recreation programs.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has emerged as a high-volume repeat buyer, posting multiple ITBs for aluminum work boats, mud boats, and center console craft across its Law Enforcement Division regions between March and June 2026. County-level marine patrol and sheriff's harbor patrol units also appear regularly: Chatham County, Georgia posted ITB 25-0147-4 on July 8, 2026 (bids due August 10, 2026) for a fully specified 27-foot-4-inch center console aluminum patrol response vessel funded by FEMA Port Security Grant Program with a 30 percent M/WBE participation goal; Orange County, California has solicited specialized engines and glass cockpit systems for harbor patrol vessels; and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission issued ITB 15161 on February 18, 2026 (bids due March 20, 2026) for ongoing pricing on SeaArk aluminum Jon boats on a standing as-needed basis. State-level cooperative procurement vehicles also appear: Rhode Island Division of Purchases opened statewide enrollment for MPA 620, a master price agreement for marine craft service, repair, and maintenance, through September 30, 2027, available to state agencies, municipalities, and the Legislative and Judicial branches across the state. Activity clusters in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Maine; California and Missouri show secondary presence. Most opportunities are posted as ITBs or RFQs with firm-price bidding based on technical specifications, best-value evaluation, and delivery timelines; contract terms typically run one year with no renewal or automatic extension unless stated. Build America Buy America compliance, E-Verify certification, and liability insurance in the $1 million range are standard requirements across jurisdictions.
