UNSPSC 25111925: Marine rudders

UNSPSC 25111925 Marine rudders, a Commodity code, sees limited direct solicitation for the component itself; instead, state and local governments buy vessels—patrol boats, ski boats, and marine craft—through competitive bids and cooperative purchasing that implicitly include rudders as integrated equipment. The code's scope maps to vessels purchased by county marine patrols, sheriff's offices, parks and recreation divisions, and state maritime agencies, where rudders are specified as part of complete boat systems rather than sourced separately. Issuing bodies include county sheriff's offices and parks divisions (Chatham County Georgia, Collier County Florida, Marion County Oregon), state cooperative purchasing vehicles (Rhode Island Division of Purchases), and regional cooperatives serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington state counties and others). Vessel procurements under or near this code typically follow ITB (Invitation to Bid), RFQ (Request for Quotes), and RFP (Request for Proposals) processes, with M/WBE participation goals and BABA compliance requirements common in federally funded acquisitions.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Oregon. Chatham County, Georgia issued ITB 25-0147-4 (closed August 10, 2026) for a 27-foot marine patrol response vessel with dual Mercury engines and integrated systems, funded through the 2025 DHS/FEMA Port Security Grant Program with a 30% M/WBE subcontracting goal. Collier County, Florida has posted multiple Quick Quote procurements for ski boats (16-20 foot fiberglass inboard-powered vessels with trailers) supporting Sugden Regional Park's water ski instruction program. Marion County, Oregon solicited jet boat frame fabrication via RFQ for a Stryker inflatable platform. The Rhode Island Division of Purchases established master price agreement MPA 620 (enrollment through September 30, 2027) for statewide marine craft service, repair, and maintenance across multiple manufacturers, requiring Mercury and Caterpillar certifications and carrying a 0.33 percent contract administrative fee. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment across multiple Washington state counties and other U.S. jurisdictions, though the broad scope makes vessel component specificity unclear from available materials.
