UNSPSC 25111915: Dock steps

UNSPSC 25111915 Dock steps is a Commodity code covering the supply, installation, and integration of fixed and floating dock access systems — including launch kits, transfer benches, floating mooring pads, and associated hardware — that state and local governments procure for recreational waterfront facilities, marinas, and boat ramps. Recent solicitations show the code capturing both standalone equipment purchases with installation and broader dock or waterfront construction projects where dock-step systems are components of larger park or harbor improvements. The mix of issuing bodies includes state park agencies, county parks departments, city harbors and recreation divisions, and county marine and environmental services units. Scope ranges from proprietary equipment procurement (ADA-compliant dock launch kits and transfer benches) to integrated floating dock systems within multi-phase waterfront redevelopment, often paired with site work such as parking lots, ramps, dredging, pile driving, and environmental compliance.

Geographic concentration spans Florida, Texas, Georgia, and California, with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, and Minnesota cooperative purchasing frameworks. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's June 2026 RFB for an ADA EZ Dock Launch Kit and Transfer Bench System at Martin Creek Lake State Park (bids due July 14, 2026), the City of Stonecrest's August 2026 IFB for a kayak launch dock with parking lot and drainage improvements at Everett Park (mandatory pre-bid July 8, 2026), and Pasco County, Florida's April 2026 IFB for a Withlacoochee River Park Observation Dock combining a floating platform, kayak launch with aluminum gangway, and composite sheet piling (bids due April 28, 2026). Activity is consistent across spring and summer months, with response dates typically 30–60 days from posting. Set-asides vary by jurisdiction; Texas applies HUB preferences, Florida excludes local preferences where state or federal funds are involved, and Georgia municipal solicitations reference local business preferences where applicable. Performance and payment bonds, prevailing wage compliance in some jurisdictions, and environmental permitting (Corps of Engineers, state DEP) are standard contract requirements.
