UNSPSC 25111803: Recreational rowboats

UNSPSC 25111803 Recreational rowboats is a Commodity code capturing state and local purchases of new boats and related vessels for operational and safety purposes. Recent activity shows government agencies buying purpose-built work boats and flat-bottom vessels for wildlife management, marine safety, and law enforcement operations rather than recreational craft. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have posted competitive bids for new vessels within the past two months, each specifying single-unit purchases with detailed technical and construction requirements. Issuing bodies include state wildlife agencies, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell) aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions and public entities. The code draws from a diverse mix of issuing authorities—state departments, counties, and special-purpose cooperatives—each procuring vessels for specific operational missions.

Activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with recent solicitations originating in Washington state and Florida. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife issued Solicitation PF260445MZ for one flat-bottom boat and trailer with a response deadline of October 27, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB2600402 for one marine safety work boat (estimated value $400,000) with bids due September 24, 2026, requiring bidders to carry $1,000,000 minimum general liability coverage and comply with Florida workers' compensation statutes. A broader cooperative procurement—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment issued May 12, 2026, response due June 16—may encompass boat and vessel categories as part of a multi-state framework available to hundreds of public agencies across the United States and Canada, though the summary does not confirm specific boat procurement under that vehicle.
