UNSPSC 25111533: Training ship

A ship that is used for navigation practice and actual practice training for students. It is equipped with the structure of cargo vessel and passenger ship.

UNSPSC 25111533 Training ship is a Commodity code that covers specialized marine vessels purchased by state and local agencies for operational and training purposes. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying crane barge vessels, electrofishing vessels, and outboard motors for marine patrol and environmental management rather than training ships in the traditional sense. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies—Texas General Land Office, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Highway Patrol—along with county governments such as Chatham County, Georgia, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell on behalf of multiple participating jurisdictions. One opportunity, a Sourcewell RFP for law enforcement equipment posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026, represents a framework procurement spanning thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada, though the law enforcement equipment solicitation is loosely matched to the training ship code.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Minnesota via Sourcewell's cooperative vehicle. The Texas General Land Office issued RFP 7402-MK on March 19, 2026 (response due April 16, 2026) for manufacture and delivery of two 22-foot crane barge vessels equipped with dual 200 HP outboard engines, navigation electronics, davit cranes, and custom trailers to support oil spill response operations; evaluation criteria weight cost at 40 percent, relevant experience and past performance at 30 percent, and methodology and schedule at 30 percent, with contract execution anticipated by May 29, 2026 and vessel delivery by August 31, 2027. Chatham County, Georgia solicited competitive bids for two new Mercury outboard motors for marine patrol (due May 4, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a sole-source notice for an 18-foot aluminum electrofishing vessel from Smith Root Incorporated valued at $155,000 (protest deadline February 2, 2026). The code shows active state-level procurement for specialized marine equipment but minimal traditional training ship activity.
