UNSPSC 25111512: Oil or gas workboat

UNSPSC 25111512 Oil or gas workboat, a Commodity code, encompasses specialized patrol and emergency-response vessels that state and local agencies deploy for marine law enforcement, wildlife management, and coastal operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring complete boat packages—vessel, motor, and trailer—with detailed operational specifications including navigation electronics, communications systems, emergency lighting, and law enforcement equipment such as thermal imaging and sirens. The work spans aluminum and fiberglass hull construction ranging from 15 to 27 feet, with horsepower ratings from 40 to 350, and includes delivery, assembly, warranty, and in some cases training and operator manuals.

The mix of issuing bodies includes state wildlife and natural resources agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Nevada Division of State Parks), county sheriff's departments and marine patrol divisions (Chatham County, Galveston County), and municipal police departments (District of Columbia). TPWD is the dominant repeat buyer, appearing in six separate solicitations since May 2026. Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Florida, and North Carolina, with additional procurement in Nevada and the District of Columbia. Representative opportunities include Chatham County's marine patrol response vessel ITB (due August 10, 2026, for one 27-foot center console aluminum boat with dual Mercury SeaPro 300 engines, 25-knot speed, integrated FLIR thermal imaging, and 30 percent M/WBE participation goal under FEMA Port Security Grant Program funding); TPWD's multiple IFBs for 15- to 25-foot fiberglass and aluminum boat packages with outboard motors and trailers (bids due March through April 2026, targeting four to five units across separate law enforcement regional offices); Georgia DNR's eRFQ for three Cayman 24 HB center console boats (due April 21, 2026); Illinois Conservation Police's 22-foot Deep V aluminum boat package procurement (due May 12, 2026, with June 30 pickup deadline); and Florida FWC's airboat fabrication ITB for a 15-foot aluminum hull with 525 horsepower engine (sealed bids due February 12, 2026, with May 22 completion deadline). Qualified vendors must typically be licensed marine dealers, manufacturers, or authorized distributors; meet insurance and compliance certifications; provide manufacturer's warranties; and in several cases demonstrate experience with similar projects and maintain authorized service capability within specified distances of delivery locations.
