UNSPSC 25111700: Military watercraft

UNSPSC 25111700 Military watercraft is a Class code covering service, repair, and maintenance of marine vessels operated by state and local agencies. The scope encompasses diagnostic work, parts replacement, hauling, re-launching, and emergency repair across multi-manufacturer fleets, with vendors typically required to hold manufacturer certifications (such as Mercury and Caterpillar Diesel) and demonstrate capability to service equipment from diverse builders. State and local governments procure these services primarily through master price agreements and open-enrollment contracts that establish qualified vendor rosters without guaranteed purchasing volumes, allowing user agencies to request quotes on a per-project basis. Issuing bodies include state departments and their subordinate divisions, municipalities, and quasi-governmental organizations; the Rhode Island Division of Purchases is a repeat buyer in this space.

Rhode Island represents the most recent documented activity. The State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases posted an open-enrollment master price agreement (MPA 620) on July 7, 2026, with a response deadline of September 30, 2027, to establish a statewide vendor list for marine craft service, repair, and maintenance across the state's multi-manufacturer fleet. The solicitation requires MBE participation acknowledgment as a condition of eligibility, general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and submission of company resumes, client references, and detailed discount structures through the Ocean State Procures electronic system. The resulting contract extends through March 31, 2028, with a 0.33 percent state administrative fee retained from invoices.
