UNSPSC 25111808: Yachts

UNSPSC 25111808 Yachts is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized water vessels for wildlife management, marine safety, and law enforcement operations. The recent solicitation activity shows purchasing of flat-bottom boats with trailers, marine safety work boats, and law enforcement equipment vessels — distinct from recreational yachting and aligned instead with operational marine assets for state agencies, county governments, and cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include state fish and wildlife departments, county boards of commissioners, and Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle that aggregates demand across county governments, school districts, tribes, and public entities across the United States and Canada.

Activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife posted solicitation PF260445MZ on October 13, 2026 (bids 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 issued ITB 2600402 on September 4, 2026 (bids 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. Sourcewell issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 (proposals due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment as a statewide and multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle covering Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, plus participating entities throughout the United States and Canada — though the RFP's actual scope focuses on law enforcement equipment rather than yacht-class vessels and appears to be a broader cooperative framework not narrowly aligned with this code's nominal scope.
