UNSPSC 25111510: Salvage ships

UNSPSC 25111510 Salvage ships, a Commodity code, covers the recovery, removal, and disposal of derelict, at-risk, and public-nuisance vessels, along with specialized marine equipment procurement supporting those operations. State and local governments buying under this code solicit multi-award removal and disposal contracts spanning entire states or regions, as well as capital purchases of purpose-built marine vessels and equipment for dedicated salvage and law enforcement marine operations. Issuing bodies include state fish and wildlife agencies, state land offices, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Work ranges from vessel recovery and scrapping operations assigned through subsequent requests for quote to the manufacture and delivery of new crane barge vessels, outboard motors, and electrofishing vessels equipped with specialized systems.

Recent activity centers in Florida, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Washington, with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission managing a statewide multi-award contract (RFP 16078, sealed responses due July 21, 2026) for derelict and public-nuisance vessel removal across six designated regions, with work to be assigned through subsequent RFQs and 50/50 recycling-proceeds sharing. The Texas General Land Office issued RFP 7402-MK (due April 16, 2026) for two new crane barge vessels with dual 200 HP engines, davit cranes, and specialized trailers to support its Oil Spill Division, evaluated on cost (40%), experience and past performance (30%), and methodology and schedule (30%). The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a sole-source procurement notice for an 18-foot electrofishing vessel from Smith Root Incorporated for $155,000 to replace aging equipment in the Northern Pikeminnow Management Program. Chatham County, Georgia solicited bids for two new Mercury outboard motors designated for Marine Patrol (due May 4, 2026). Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of public entities across multiple states and Canada, though the connection to salvage vessels is unclear from available documentation.
