UNSPSC 25111524: Bulk carrier

A ship that transports bulk commodities such as grain, coal, mineral and other goods not separately packed.

UNSPSC 25111524 Bulk carrier (Commodity) describes specialized marine vessels and equipment that state and local governments procure for operational missions ranging from law enforcement support to environmental management and resource protection. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing outboard motors, crane barges, electrofishing vessels, and related marine equipment to replace aging fleets or establish new operational capacity. The issuing bodies span state natural-resource agencies, county governments, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Texas General Land Office, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Chatham County, Georgia have all posted procurement activity under this code in the first half of 2026, indicating demand across resource management, marine patrol, and emergency-response functions.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with broader multi-state reach through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing agreement administered by the State of Minnesota on behalf of participating jurisdictions nationwide. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas General Land Office's RFP 7402-MK (issued March 19, 2026, response due April 16, 2026) for two 22-foot crane barge vessels with dual 200 HP outboard engines, davit cranes, and trailers to support derelict-vessel removal; Chatham County's IFB 26-0038-4 (posted March 24, 2026, due May 4, 2026) for two new Mercury outboard motors designated for Marine Patrol operations; and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's sole-source procurement of an 18-foot electrofishing vessel from Smith Root Incorporated (notice posted January 26, 2026, $155,000 contract value). Sourcewell's RFP 061626 (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) establishes a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and nonprofit organizations throughout the United States and Canada, indicating potential for broader market access through multi-jurisdictional frameworks.
