UNSPSC 25111531: Hydrographical survey ship

A ship equipped for surveying water depth and currents, tides, geography and geology of seabed and others.

UNSPSC 25111531 Hydrographical survey ship is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — specialized oceanographic and hydrographic survey vessels — does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The single recent opportunity on record, Sourcewell RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026), solicits law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, not survey ships or marine vessels of any kind. This mismatch indicates the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms in the marine survey or vessel-supply sectors.

Sourcewell, acting as a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued the RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, plus hundreds of additional governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada. The resulting contract framework would establish a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment available to a broad cross-section of public entities. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, with questions directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. No award value, set-aside designation, or specific equipment scope is identified in available documentation. The code's assignment to this law enforcement procurement appears to be either a classification error or a broad catch-all tagging by the issuing cooperative; firms pursuing state and local opportunities in marine survey, hydrographic services, or vessel acquisition should not expect activity under this code.
