UNSPSC 25111910: Boat ramps

UNSPSC 25111910 Boat ramps, a Commodity code, covers the design, construction, repair, and installation of boat launch systems and associated waterfront recreational infrastructure that state and local governments procure to provide public access to waterways. The recent opportunities show a mix of floating kayak launch docks, traditional boat ramps, marina redevelopment, and observation platforms with integrated kayak/canoe access, reflecting a scope that spans new construction, replacement, and facility improvement work at public parks, marinas, and county recreational areas. Issuing bodies include city parks departments, county boards of commissioners, and county recreation authorities across Florida, Georgia, and California. Work typically encompasses site preparation, permitting and regulatory coordination with Army Corps of Engineers and state environmental agencies, structural installation (floating docks, composite sheet piling, concrete approaches), drainage and erosion control, landscaping, and ADA compliance. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of contract value and bid bonds of 5 to 10 percent are standard, with substantial completion timelines of 60 to 180 days and liquidated damages clauses for schedule delays.

Recent opportunities show activity in Florida and Georgia. The City of Stonecrest, Georgia posted an IFB for Everett Park kayak launch dock and parking lot improvements (CITB-0011-26, due August 4, 2026), requiring a 60-day substantial completion timeline and three references specific to parking lot and kayak installation services with at least one being a local, county, state, or federal entity. Clay County, Florida issued an RFB for Knight's Marina and Lake Shore Boat Ramp repairs and redevelopment (2526089, due July 6, 2026) across two separate facilities with performance and payment bond requirements. Pasco County, Florida solicited construction of the Withlacoochee River Park Observation Dock (IFB-SP-26-011, due April 28, 2026) featuring a 480-square-foot floating platform and 96-square-foot kayak/canoe launch with 410-square-foot aluminum gangway, requiring a Florida Certified General Contractor and compliance with DEP Environmental Resource Permit and Army Corps of Engineers Department of the Army Permit conditions. The University of Wisconsin-Madison's loading dock equipment RFB (2026-UWMSN-01232-RFB, due April 2, 2026) appears unrelated to the boat ramp code's waterfront-recreation scope; no boat ramp activity is present in that solicitation.
