UNSPSC 25111517: Hovercraft

A marine vehicle supported by a cushion of air that enables it to navigate water, ice, sand and even swamps.

UNSPSC 25111517 Hovercraft is a Commodity code covering small watercraft and repair services procured by state fish and wildlife departments, city parks and recreation agencies, and county law enforcement divisions for operational and emergency-response use. State and local governments buy inflatable boats, flat-bottom vessels, outboard motors, boat trailers, and marine repair and refurbishment services under this code. Recent solicitations show work spanning new vessel procurement with detailed hull and engine specifications, complete re-tubing and electronics replacement on existing inflatable boats, and repair services performed at vendor marine facilities. The issuing-body mix includes state wildlife and law enforcement agencies (Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department), city parks departments (City of St. Petersburg), county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington and Oregon counties). Responses to marine-equipment solicitations typically require vendors to hold active Marine Dealer, Distributor, or Manufacturer Licenses and to carry comprehensive marine liability insurance.
