UNSPSC 25111521: Marine anchor

A sub-marine mooring device designed to fix a ship or marine structure at a point in the sea by lodging itself in the seabed. Can be temporary or permanent.

UNSPSC 25111521 Marine anchor is a Commodity code that nominally addresses mooring and anchoring equipment for marine vessels, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with that scope. The most directly relevant solicitation is the State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases' MPA 620 master price agreement for marine craft service, repair, and maintenance—a statewide enrollment open through September 30, 2027 that covers service and upkeep of diverse marine fleets across state agencies, municipalities, and other public bodies. A second substantive opportunity is Chatham County, Georgia's competitive bid for two new Mercury outboard motors for marine patrol operations, due May 4, 2026. The remaining three opportunities in the recent block (City of Pasadena equestrian center operations, Sourcewell law enforcement equipment cooperative, and City of Phoenix electrical parts and supplies) are unrelated to marine anchor procurement and suggest categorical tagging inconsistencies in the state and local system.

Rhode Island's MPA 620 requires vendors to hold manufacturer certifications (Mercury and Caterpillar Diesel), carry $1 million general liability and automobile liability insurance, and provide detailed discount structures and service logistics capabilities; MBE participation acknowledgment is mandatory for eligibility. The Chatham County motors solicitation is a straightforward IFB for two identical new Mercury units, with award potentially contingent on delivery timeline. Beyond these two marine-focused postings, the code shows limited recent state and local activity. Geographic concentration is light—Rhode Island and Georgia are the only jurisdictions with substantively relevant recent postings. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and most recent opportunities suggests that either marine anchor purchasing occurs infrequently in state and local procurement or is commonly tagged under different codes.
