UNSPSC 25111801: Recreational sailboats

UNSPSC 25111801 Recreational sailboats is a Commodity code covering work boats and marine vessels procured by state and local government for operational purposes. State and local governments do not actually buy sailboats under this code; recent solicitations show procurement of flat-bottom work boats and marine safety vessels for wildlife management, county operations, and law enforcement support. The issuing bodies span state natural-resource agencies, county commissions, and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and public entities. The scope of work involves purchasing single vessels or establishing master contracting vehicles for marine equipment, with procurement documents specifying technical construction standards, capacity requirements, insurance mandates, and operational fitness rather than recreational design parameters.

Recent activity appears in Washington State and Florida. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife issued competitive bids (Solicitation PF260445MZ, due October 27, 2026) for one new flat-bottom boat and trailer meeting detailed technical specifications for wildlife management. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited competitive sealed bids (ITB ITB2600402, due September 24, 2026) for one marine safety work boat with an estimated contract value of $400,000, requiring $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate general liability coverage and workers' compensation insurance. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued an RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment intended to establish a master contract available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofits across the United States and Canada, though that solicitation does not clearly align with recreational sailboat procurement and suggests a code-tagging mismatch in the source material.
