UNSPSC 25111523: Factory ship

A fishing ship capable of processing marine products at the fishing site with the marine processing facilities within the ship.

UNSPSC 25111523 Factory ship (Commodity) spans a misaligned category where state and local procurement activity does not match the code's nominal scope. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP #061626), specialized marine vessels for state environmental agencies (Texas General Land Office RFP 7402-MK for two crane barge vessels with outboard engines and davit cranes; Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife sole-source acquisition of an 18-foot electrofishing vessel from Smith Root Incorporated), outboard motor procurement (Chatham County, Georgia IFB for two Mercury outboard motors for marine patrol), and related marine equipment. The code shows no recent activity aligned with factory ship manufacturing or procurement as a primary commodity; instead, state and local buyers are sourcing smaller specialized marine vessels, engines, and components through single awards and cooperative frameworks. The issuing-body mix reflects state environmental and wildlife agencies (Texas GLO, Oregon ODFW), county purchasing offices (Chatham County), and state cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating entities nationwide).

Geographic spread concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and South (Oregon, Washington, Texas, Georgia) based on recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Texas General Land Office's RFP 7402-MK (due April 16, 2026) for two new crane barge vessels with dual 200 HP outboard engines, davit cranes rated for 1,000 pounds, navigation and sonar systems, custom trailers, and vendor-provided training and shake-down cruises—evaluated on cost (40 percent), experience and past performance (30 percent), and methodology and schedule (30 percent); the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's sole-source acquisition of an 18-foot electrofishing vessel from Smith Root Incorporated at $155,000 (notice posted January 26, 2026, protest deadline February 2, 2026); and Chatham County's IFB for two new Mercury outboard motors for marine patrol (due May 4, 2026). The Sourcewell RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) establishes a cooperative purchasing framework for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities across the United States and Canada, though law enforcement equipment falls outside the factory ship commodity scope.
