UNSPSC 25111511: Oil or gas crew boat

UNSPSC 25111511 Oil or gas crew boat (Commodity) encompasses patrol and law-enforcement vessels that state and local governments acquire for marine operations, though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of government marine patrol craft than the nominal "oil or gas crew boat" designation suggests. State procurement offices, county sheriff departments, and state wildlife and parks agencies are the primary buyers. The work being solicited includes complete boat packages—vessel, motor, and trailer as integrated units—along with integrated equipment such as electronics, navigation systems, radar, thermal imaging, communications gear, lighting, and emergency response features. Specifications are granular: hull material (aluminum or fiberglass), exact dimensions, horsepower ratings, fuel capacity, payload limits, warranty terms, and delivery readiness. Vendors must be licensed marine dealers, manufacturers, or authorized distributors and typically must demonstrate local service capability within specified distances. Recent solicitations show a marked emphasis on build-to-spec procurement with firm delivery dates, pre-delivery inspection at vendor facilities, and compliance with federal and state certifications (USCG, CFR Part 183, ABYC standards, and state environmental rules).

Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Nevada State Parks), county sheriffs and marine patrols (Chatham County Marine Patrol in Georgia, Galveston County Sheriff), and specialized state law-enforcement divisions. Texas Parks and Wildlife appears most active, issuing multiple IFBs for 15-foot through 25-foot aluminum and fiberglass packages between March and June 2026. Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with secondary activity in Nevada and Florida. Representative current opportunities include Chatham County's ITB 25-0147-4 (posted July 8, 2026, due August 10, 2026) for a single 27-foot-4-inch center console aluminum patrol vessel with dual Mercury SeaPro 300 engines, Garmin chartplotter, FLIR thermal imaging, and integrated police radio capability, funded by the DHS/FEMA Port Security Grant Program with a 30 percent M/WBE subcontracting goal; and Texas Parks and Wildlife IFB 802-26-75664 (posted May 29, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for four 15-foot aluminum boat packages with 40-horsepower tiller motors and trailers for shallow-water law enforcement, with awards made on best-value basis. Pricing structures vary from lump-sum unit costs (boat, motor, trailer as separate line items with delivery fees) to all-or-none awards with optional accessory line items that may be funded based on availability at award time.
