UNSPSC 25111805: Personal motorized watercraft

UNSPSC 25111805 Personal motorized watercraft is a Commodity code encompassing recreational and operational boats, motors, and trailers that state and local agencies procure for law enforcement, emergency response, resource management, and marine patrol operations. State and local government buyers under this code are securing shallow-draft aluminum skiffs, center console mud boats, tiller-configured enforcement vessels, and specialized craft for search and rescue, wildlife enforcement, coastal patrol, and disaster response—each typically bundled with matched outboard motors and trailers and delivered as complete, operation-ready packages. Recent solicitations span state wildlife and law enforcement agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks), county marine patrol and public safety offices (Glynn County Georgia, Chatham County Georgia, Hillsborough County Florida, Volusia County Florida), and special-purpose districts (Illinois State Police), with issuing bodies ranging from conservation police divisions to county emergency services and habitat programs.

Procurement activity concentrates in the South and Upper Midwest, with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department emerging as a repeat high-volume buyer across multiple IFBs posted July through August 2026 for 17- to 18-foot mud boats, flat-bottom enforcement skiffs, and custom airboats ranging from four to eighteen units per solicitation. Recent representative opportunities include the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks IFB 26IFB20247 (boats, motors, and trailers due November 3, 2026), the Glynn County Board of Commissioners IFB27-012 for a public safety center console vessel (due October 28, 2026), the Chatham County Georgia ITB 25-0147-4 for a 27-foot center console marine patrol response vessel funded by the 2025 DHS/FEMA Port Security Grant Program with a 30% M/WBE participation goal (due August 10, 2026), Hillsborough County Florida's ITB2600402 for a marine safety work boat with estimated value $400,000 (due September 24, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Office of Law Enforcement request for four jon boat packages (due September 11, 2026, with U.S.-manufactured preference and Illinois Business Preference available). Build America, Buy America compliance, state business preferences, and set-asides for minority and women-owned enterprises appear in multiple recent solicitations, particularly those funded through federal grants or state conservation programs.
