UNSPSC 25111943: Single buoy mooring

A Single buoy mooring (SrM) (also known as single-point mooring or SPM) is a loading buoy anchored offshore, that serves as a mooring point and interconnect for tankers loading or offloading gas or liquid products. SPMs are the link between geostatic subsea manifold connections and weathervaning tankers. They are capable of handling any tonnage ship, even very large crude carriers (VLCC) where no alternative facility is available.

UNSPSC 25111943 Single buoy mooring (Commodity) covers monitoring and control buoys deployed in water treatment and aquatic management applications, though recent state and local procurement under this code shows minimal direct activity. The City of Tampa issued an Intent to Single Source on April 23, 2026 for the MPC Buoy Ultrasonic Algae Control and Monitoring System — a buoy-based water quality monitoring platform currently supplied by LG Sonic US, LLC — to support operations at the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility. The procurement requires authorized manufacturer distributor or dealer status and mandates OEM parts and service compatibility. State and local buyers under this code appear limited to water utilities and facility operators managing algal bloom control and real-time water treatment parameter monitoring.

The geographic spread of recent solicitation activity is narrow, with only Florida appearing in current records. A second opportunity — Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026 — was tagged to this code but does not represent buoy procurement and likely reflects classification mismatch. The Tampa water-treatment procurement represents the only substantive recent activity under the code, indicating low overall volume in state and local markets. Vendors pursuing this code should focus on water utility procurement channels and facility-management contacts at municipal water agencies rather than expecting regular or broad solicitation flow.
