UNSPSC 25111802: Recreational motorboats

UNSPSC 25111802 Recreational motorboats is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of new recreational and operational vessels—not consumer pleasure craft, but boats acquired for public-sector management, enforcement, and safety operations. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying purpose-built workboats and commercial-grade recreational vessels equipped with specific engines, accessories, and structural features to meet operational requirements. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife solicited a flat-bottom boat meeting detailed technical specifications for wildlife management; Orange County, California, Sheriff-Coroner sought a new 2027 Boston Whaler 130 Super Sport with factory accessories and a Mercury 40 engine; and Hillsborough County, Florida, purchased a marine safety work boat with an estimated value of $400,000. Issuing bodies include state fish-and-wildlife departments, county sheriff and public-safety offices, and county boards of commissioners—typically procurement offices handling single-unit or small-quantity acquisitions rather than standing vendor relationships. The code shows sparse but distinct recent activity driven by operational need rather than routine replacement cycles.

Geographic spread centers on the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. Washington state, California, and Florida each posted boat procurements between mid-September and mid-October 2026. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife issued IFB PF260445MZ for a flat-bottom boat and trailer with bids due October 27, 2026. Orange County, California, Sheriff-Coroner posted IFB IFB0603133601AA on September 18, 2026, offering a 5% bid-price preference for certified local small business or disabled veteran business enterprise vendors and an 8% preference for vendors certified as both, with bids due September 11, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. through the County's online eProcurement Portal. Hillsborough County, Florida, issued ITB 26-00402 for one marine safety work boat with bids due September 24, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $400,000 and mandatory comprehensive general liability, property, and workers compensation insurance; the County was named as additional insured on all policies.
