UNSPSC 25111505: Tankers

UNSPSC 25111505 Tankers (Commodity) covers specialized marine vessels and equipment that state and local governments procure for law enforcement, environmental remediation, and resource management operations. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying crane barge vessels, electrofishing boats, outboard motors, and related marine equipment for specific operational missions rather than traditional tanker transport. The code captures a narrow but active slice of state and local marine procurement, with issuing bodies spanning state natural-resource and environmental departments, county governments, and cooperative purchasing consortia. Work under this code includes vessel design and manufacture to agency specifications, engine and motor procurement, integration of specialized onboard systems, and post-delivery training and acceptance testing.

Activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Gulf Coast regions. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a sole-source procurement notice in January 2026 for an $155,000 electrofishing vessel from Smith Root Incorporated to support the Northern Pikeminnow Management Program. The Texas General Land Office released an RFP (7402-MK) in March 2026 for two 22-foot crane barge vessels with dual 200 HP outboard engines, navigation electronics, and davit cranes to support oil spill response operations; proposals were due April 16, 2026, with contract execution anticipated by May 29, 2026 and delivery by August 31, 2027. Chatham County, Georgia solicited competitive bids in March 2026 for two new Mercury outboard motors for Marine Patrol, with bids due May 4, 2026. Sourcewell, the Minnesota state cooperative purchasing entity, issued RFP 061626 in May 2026 on behalf of participating county and municipal entities across Washington and other jurisdictions, establishing a framework contract for law enforcement equipment; proposals were due June 16, 2026, through the Sourcewell portal.
