UNSPSC 25111600: Safety and rescue water craft

UNSPSC 25111600 Safety and rescue water craft is a Class code under which state and local governments procure patrol vessels, rescue boats, and outboard engines for marine operations. Recent solicitations show purchases of 23-foot aluminum center console boats with dual outboard engines, rigid hull inflatable patrol vessels, standalone outboard motors, and aluminum work boats and jon boats. Issuing bodies span state natural-resource agencies (Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission), county governments (Chatham County, Georgia), municipal harbormaster departments (Town of Edgartown, Massachusetts), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell serving thousands of governmental units). A Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment reflects the code's use as a vehicle for broader equipment procurement across disparate jurisdictions, though most recent activity centers on single-asset acquisitions by state wildlife and marine agencies and municipal harbor patrols.

Recent opportunities span Massachusetts, Georgia, and Florida, with the Sourcewell framework extending participation across Washington state counties and North America. Representative solicitations include the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries' bid for one 23-foot Safe Boat vessel with twin 200HP Yamaha engines (estimated $325,000, due July 30, 2026); the Town of Edgartown's proposal solicitation for one rigid hull inflatable patrol vessel (due May 20, 2026); the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's ITB for SeaArk aluminum work boats and jon boats available on an as-needed basis with a one-year term and three optional renewals (sealed bid due March 16, 2026); and Chatham County's bid for two Mercury outboard motors for marine patrol (due May 4, 2026). The Massachusetts procurement is Small Business Purchasing Program–preferred and requires all bidders to submit a mandatory Supplier Diversity Plan committing to minimum 1 percent spending with certified diverse businesses, with failure to comply barring award. Recent activity shows regular demand but no single dominant buyer pattern.
