UNSPSC 25111902: Marine propellers

UNSPSC 25111902 Marine propellers (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code. Recent opportunities posted under 25111902 center on marine engines, outboard motors, propulsion systems, and integrated marine equipment rather than propellers as discrete components. The State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases is establishing MPA 620, a master price agreement for marine craft service, repair, and maintenance across a statewide fleet covering state agencies, quasi-governmental organizations, municipalities, and legislative and judicial branches. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner has solicited specific outboard engines (Yamaha 200 HP models and Ilmor 6.2L GDI marine engines with integrated cockpit displays) for harbor patrol operations. Work solicited includes new equipment procurement, repair and maintenance services, technical certification and manufacturer qualification, parts sourcing across multiple brands, and emergency hauling and re-launching logistics. Vendors must demonstrate relevant manufacturer certifications (Mercury and Caterpillar Diesel for Rhode Island's MPA 620; OEM certifications for specific County purchases), maintain insurance coverage ranging from $1 million to $2 million aggregate liability, and meet state registration and debarment requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Rhode Island and California, with Rhode Island's statewide master price agreement offering access to multiple user agencies through September 30, 2027, and the County of Orange posting two separate competitive sealed bids (IFB) for marine engine and equipment packages in spring 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP #061626) posted May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response date, sought law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies across Washington state and beyond, though the solicitation materials provided do not detail whether marine propulsion components are included. Rhode Island's MPA 620 open enrollment (due September 30, 2027) and the County of Orange's specific engine IFBs represent the most concrete recent opportunities tied to this code. Vendors pursuing this code should note the mismatch between its nominal scope (marine propellers) and actual state and local buying activity (complete marine propulsion systems, engines, and integrated equipment), and should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before bidding.
