UNSPSC 25111532: Debris collection vessel

A ship equipped with facilities for cleaning refuse, foreign substances and undesireable aquatic organisms floating on the sea surface, or surfaces of lakes and other bodies of water.

UNSPSC 25111532 Debris collection vessel is a Commodity code that captures specialized vessels and floating equipment used for marine debris removal, aquatic cleanup, and water-quality improvement operations. State and local governments procure under this code live-aboard dive vessels equipped for multi-day submerged debris recovery missions, specialized collection and capture devices for stormwater treatment and trash interception, and support vessels for environmental remediation in coastal and freshwater settings. The issuing bodies span environmental and natural-resource agencies, county public-works departments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Work ranges from single-source specialized dive operations to master agreements establishing panels of qualified equipment suppliers for standardized water-quality infrastructure.

Recent activity centers on Florida and California. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission posted a single-source capability notice (SS16555, due August 18, 2026) for a live-aboard dive vessel to conduct annual multi-day SCUBA operations removing derelict fishing gear from the Key West National Wildlife Refuge and Dry Tortugas National Park, estimated at $200,000 through July 2028 and funded by Deepwater Horizon settlement dollars. The County of Orange, California is soliciting proposals (RFP0802736403WH, due March 6, 2025) for a five-year master agreement panel of contractors to supply, fabricate, and install trash and debris capture devices—hydrodynamic separators, gross solids removal systems, catch basin inserts, and in-line trash capture units—for stormwater treatment across Orange County and San Diego City municipalities, with local small-business and disabled-veteran set-asides. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle serving Washington counties and public entities across the United States and Canada, posted an RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment that appears unrelated to the code's marine or aquatic debris scope.
