UNSPSC 25111536: Unmanned surface vessel or ship

A ship capable of being operated and piloted by induction or programmed software via radio waves, thus not requiring pilots or crew.

UNSPSC 25111536 Unmanned surface vessel or ship is a Commodity code that sees virtually no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single posted opportunity tagged to this code — Orange County, Florida's emergency bridge replacement project (IFB Y26742, response deadline July 7, 2026, estimated cost $6.2 million) — involves conventional ground-based bridge construction and replacement, not unmanned surface vessels. The work solicited encompasses full bridge replacements at two locations with geotechnical analysis, structural design, permitting, and helical-pile specifications; no watercraft or unmanned systems are part of the scope. A second opportunity in the block, Sourcewell's cooperative law enforcement equipment procurement (RFP 061626, response deadline June 16, 2026), is likewise unrelated to unmanned surface vessels.

The code shows no documented state or local procurement activity for unmanned surface vessels or ships. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited under it suggests either tagging error or that this Commodity code does not currently drive material demand in state and local markets. Business development activity under this code should be treated with caution pending clarification of whether state and local procurement offices are actually seeking this asset class.
