UNSPSC 25111931: Stern platforms

UNSPSC 25111931 Stern platforms is a Commodity code that state and local governments are actually buying as complete marine vessels and vessel components for law enforcement, public safety, and marine patrol operations. Recent opportunities show purchases of finished work boats and patrol vessels rated for high-speed coastal response, along with specialized frame fabrication for jet boats used in law enforcement. The issuing bodies include county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida; Chatham County, Georgia; Marion County, Oregon) and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public agencies. The scope encompasses not just the stern platform itself but the fully equipped marine safety and patrol vessels that incorporate stern platforms as integrated structural elements, including engines, navigation systems, communication equipment, and safety systems. Chatham County's marine patrol response vessel specification exemplifies the category: a 27-foot-4-inch center console aluminum-hulled boat with dual Mercury SeaPro 300 engines, integrated Garmin chartplotter, radar, thermal imaging, and police radio capability, rated for 50-knot top speed and 220-nautical-mile range.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and Oregon, with a broader national reach through cooperative purchasing. Hillsborough County issued ITB 26-00402 in September 2026 for one marine safety work boat estimated at $400,000, due September 24, 2026. Chatham County, Georgia released ITB 25-0147-4 in July 2026 for one marine patrol response vessel funded entirely by the 2025 DHS/FEMA Port Security Grant Program, with a 30% combined Minority/Woman Business Enterprise participation goal and bids due August 10, 2026. Marion County, Oregon posted a Notice of Intent to Award in April 2026 for jet boat frame fabrication, with Marine 1, LLC selected as the apparent successful bidder under RFQ SO1805-26. Sourcewell, a Minnesota service cooperative, issued RFP 061626 in May 2026 on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and other participating entities nationwide to establish a broader law enforcement equipment contracting solution, with proposals due June 16, 2026.
