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 for specialized marine vessels purchased by state and local governments, though recent activity shows the code being applied to research and law enforcement vessels rather than traditional training platforms. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's offshore research vessel procurement illustrates the core work: design, fabrication, assembly, rigging, equipment installation, testing, delivery, and operator training for center-console research vessels meeting United States Coast Guard and American Boat and Yacht Council standards. Issuing bodies have included state resource agencies and cooperative purchasing consortia spanning multiple states and county jurisdictions. The code appears underutilized relative to the breadth of potential buyers, suggesting limited recent demand for formal training-ship procurement at the state and local level.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission posted ITB FWC 26/27-17 on September 14, 2026, seeking three 25- to 27-foot offshore center console research vessels with a response deadline of October 6, 2026 and bids due October 1, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. ET; the estimated contract value was $285,000 over three years, with deliveries beginning June 30, 2027. The procurement required sealed bids, manufacturer licensure, and three verifiable references for similar marine projects within the past five years. A separate Sourcewell RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline sought law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle on behalf of participating entities in Washington state and beyond, though the available documentation does not clarify whether marine vessels were included in that solicitation's scope. Activity has been concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with no evidence of recent opportunities in other regions.
