UNSPSC 25111509: Cruise ships

UNSPSC 25111509 Cruise ships is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are actually marine vessel and equipment purchases—outboard motors, crane barge vessels, and specialized electrofishing boats—that fall outside the nominal scope of cruise ship procurement. Chatham County, Georgia solicited two Mercury outboard motors for marine patrol operations via competitive bid; the Texas General Land Office issued an RFP for two crane barge vessels with dual 200 HP engines and davit cranes to support oil spill response; and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife executed a sole-source procurement for an electrofishing vessel. None of these represent cruise ship acquisition or charter, and the code appears to be a miscategorization in the state and local procurement system.

Issuing bodies sourcing under this code include county governments (Chatham County), state natural-resource and land-management agencies (Texas GLO, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple participating entities). Geographic activity is sparse and dispersed—Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and a multi-state cooperative serving Washington and beyond—with no concentration suggesting repeat or volume activity. The only opportunity with clear market signals is the Texas GLO RFP 7402-MK for two crane barge vessels, due April 16, 2026, which required cost (40%), experience and past performance (30%), and methodology and schedule (30%) as evaluation criteria, with contract execution estimated for May 29, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline is unrelated to vessel procurement. If your firm pursues marine equipment and vessels for state and local agencies, confirm with procurement officers whether they are using this code or a more appropriate marine-equipment taxonomy; the current code classification does not reflect actual buying patterns.
