UNSPSC 25111500: Commercial marine craft

UNSPSC 25111500 Commercial marine craft is a Class code covering the purchase and deployment of operational vessels by state and local government agencies for law enforcement, public safety, research, and natural resource management. State and local buyers under this code are procuring complete boat packages — typically comprising hulls, propulsion systems, trailers, and integrated equipment — tailored to specific mission profiles: shallow-water enforcement vessels, coastal patrol and rescue craft, research platforms for fisheries and environmental monitoring, and specialized airboats for marsh and swamp access. The issuing bodies span state departments (fish and wildlife, natural resources, marine fisheries), county sheriffs' offices and marine patrol units, and smaller municipal harbor patrol functions. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department appears as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple IFBs for jon boats, center console mud boats, tiller boats, and flat-bottom aluminum craft across its Law Enforcement Division regions during the past quarter. South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and Georgia and Massachusetts state agencies round out the active buyer base. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and Chatham County, Georgia are also active procurers.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and South, with standout volume in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and the Mid-Atlantic. Representative recent opportunities include the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks IFB 26IFB20247 (posted October 14, 2026, due November 3, 2026) for two complete 17- and 18-foot aluminum hull vessels with specified motors and trailers for regional headquarters delivery; Glynn County, Georgia IFB27-012 (posted October 12, due October 28, 2026) for one new public safety center console vessel with full propulsion, electronics, and rigging for coastal and inland waterway operations; the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries solicitation BD271046DMFFWE20133878 (posted September 25, due October 15, 2026) for a Steiger Craft 255 CC center console research vessel at $240,000 estimated value with SBPP preference eligibility; and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission ITB FWC 26/27-17 (posted September 14, due October 1, 2026) for three 25- to 27-foot offshore center console research vessels at $285,000 estimated budget over three years, which the Commission subsequently withdrew due to fewer than two responsive bids and proceeded as an exceptional purchase. Texas Parks and Wildlife Law Enforcement Division has issued multiple parallel mud boat IFBs across regions throughout August, covering 15- to 18-foot flat-bottom aluminum vessels with 25- to 150-horsepower motors and trailers. Chatham County, Georgia ITB 25-0147-4 (posted July 8, due August 10, 2026) is seeking one 27-foot-4-inch center console aluminum vessel funded by DHS/FEMA Port Security Grant Program with 30% M/WBE participation goal and Build America, Buy America compliance.
