UNSPSC 25111518: Hospital ship

A ship equipped with medical care equipment and facilities equivalent to a land-based hospital. Staffed by physicians and medical supportpersonnel.

UNSPSC 25111518 Hospital ship is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear little relationship to hospital ships—the actual solicitations involve law enforcement equipment, marine patrol outboard motors, specialized crane barge vessels for oil spill response, and electrofishing equipment. The mismatch suggests this code carries minimal relevant procurement activity for hospital-ship vendors or operators. State and local governments do not appear to be sourcing hospital ships through this UNSPSC category at present.

The four opportunities captured under the code span cooperative purchasing frameworks, county-level procurement, state marine agencies, and sole-source acquisitions. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and other participating entities nationwide. The Texas General Land Office issued RFP 7402-MK (due April 16, 2026) for two specialized 22-foot crane barge vessels with dual 200 HP engines and davit cranes to support oil spill response operations. Chatham County, Georgia solicited competitive bids for two Mercury outboard motors for Marine Patrol (due May 4, 2026). The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a sole-source procurement notice (deadline February 2, 2026) for an 18-foot electrofishing vessel from Smith Root Incorporated, valued at $155,000. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Texas, with cooperative-purchasing reach extending nationally. The code shows no signal of active hospital-ship procurement among state and local buyers.
