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 (Commodity) covers specialized watercraft and marine equipment that state and local governments procure for law enforcement, parks and recreation, and emergency response operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring inflatable boats, airboats, ski boats, jet boats, outboard motors, and marine repair services—a broader scope than the code name alone suggests. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Marion County Sheriff's Office, Collier County Parks and Recreation, the City of Tampa, the City of St. Petersburg, and Chatham County, Georgia have all posted opportunities under this code in the past three months. Issuing bodies span state wildlife and law enforcement agencies, county sheriffs' offices, county parks divisions, and municipal marine units. The work ranges from new-boat procurement through custom fabrication to comprehensive repair and refurbishment of existing vessels, with vendors required to hold marine dealer or manufacturer licenses and comply with state and federal marine safety standards.

Texas and Florida dominate recent activity, with Marion County, Oregon, Chatham County, Georgia, and Washington state (through Sourcewell cooperative purchasing) also active. Representative opportunities include the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's IFB 802-26-75668 (posted April 16, 2026, due April 23, 2026) for two 14-foot inflatable swift water boats with 40 HP outboard motors and aluminum trailers; Marion County Sheriff's Office RFQ SO1805-26 (posted April 15, 2026, due April 22, 2026) for jet boat frame fabrication for a Stryker PRO 470; Collier County Parks and Recreation Quick Quote QQ2026112 (posted April 21, 2026, due April 22, 2026) for two new ski boats and a tandem axle trailer to support water ski instruction; and the City of St. Petersburg RFQ QUOTE26192 (posted April 17, 2026, due April 7, 2026) for repair and refurbishment of a 28-foot 2012 Brunswick Impact 850 inflatable boat, including re-tubing, electronics replacement, and 100-hour engine service, with an estimated scope of approximately $40,305.98. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) establishes a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment across multiple participating counties and jurisdictions in Washington state and beyond, expanding market reach across public entities nationwide.
