UNSPSC 25111940: Ship navigation simulator

A mock navigation device that simulates ship navigation without actually sailing a ship. Designed for training.

UNSPSC 25111940 Ship navigation simulator is a Commodity code that in practice covers the removal, storage, inspection, maintenance, and seasonal reinstallation of navigational aids, buoys, channel markers, and dock floats in coastal and harbor environments. State and local governments use this code to procure work that keeps waterway safety infrastructure operational across seasonal cycles and to manage the associated service logistics — fall removal and winter storage, comprehensive asset inspection with repair-cost estimation, and spring reinstallation according to harbor management directives. The work spans both the physical handling of navigational equipment and the administrative reporting required to support separate repair procurement. Issuing bodies under the code include municipal governments managing harbor operations and county marine resources divisions responsible for waterway maintenance and safety.

Recent activity shows limited geographic spread. The Town of Essex, Connecticut posted ITB 38810 on September 3, 2026, with a response date of September 24, 2026, soliciting annual servicing of 14 anchorage buoys, 11 channel markers, 2 entrance buoys, 3 dock floats, and associated ramps and rock markers across Essex harbor. Escambia County Marine Resources Division in Florida released RFQ 20250923WA2615 on August 5, 2026, targeting installation and maintenance of waterway signs, lights, and pilings across approximately 15 waterways safety zones and navigation channels for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026). The Escambia County solicitation requires marine contractor licensing, comprehensive marine liability insurance with minimums of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and adherence to state and federal in-water-works regulations. Both opportunities reflect routine municipal and county waterway infrastructure stewardship rather than capital acquisition or simulation systems, suggesting a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and current state and local buying patterns under it.
