UNSPSC 25111510: Salvage ships

UNSPSC 25111510 Salvage ships, a Commodity code, encompasses the recovery, removal, and disposal of derelict, at-risk, and public nuisance vessels. State and local governments buy this work primarily through environmental and natural-resources agencies managing waterway cleanup, vessel turn-in programs, and hazardous-material remediation. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's recent multi-award RFP for statewide vessel removal illustrates the scope: contractors recover derelict and migrant vessels across designated regions, document completion with photographs and disposal receipts, manage hazardous materials, and split recycling proceeds with the agency. Work requires contractor-owned equipment availability, mandatory site visits before project bidding, and detailed invoicing with proof of proper hazardous handling. The code sees activity primarily from state environmental departments and conservation commissions rather than counties, municipalities, or school districts.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission issued RFP 16078 in May 2026 with a sealed-response deadline of July 21, 2026, for a one-year initial term running September 15, 2026, through September 14, 2027, with three optional renewal years. The evaluation weighted experience (40 points), contractor-owned equipment availability (20 points), county-coverage area (10 points), and cost (30 points), with a 60-point minimum threshold for consideration. Respondents must register in MyFloridaMarketPlace and Sunbiz prior to bid opening, and federal funding on specific projects triggers sam.gov UEI registration. The source shows no additional recent state or local opportunities under this code beyond the Florida solicitation, and a second-posted opportunity (Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment) is unrelated to vessel salvage and appears to be a tagging misalignment rather than genuine activity under this Commodity code.
