UNSPSC 25111945: Mooring arrangement wire rope

Wire rope is several strands of metal wire twisted into a helix forming a composite rope, in a pattern known as laid rope. Larger diameter wire rope consists of multiple strands of such laid rope in a pattern known as cable laid.

UNSPSC 25111945 Mooring arrangement wire rope is a Commodity code that sees little direct solicitation activity under its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The recent-opportunities block contains six postings, but only one—Sarasota County's waterway navigation repairs and maintenance RFQ—involves mooring, anchoring, or rigging work where wire rope would reasonably be specified. The remaining five opportunities address marine patrol boat acquisition (Galveston County), outboard motor purchase (Chatham County), boat ramp construction (Clay County), law enforcement equipment cooperative procurement (Sourcewell), and transportation planning consulting (Jacksonville Transportation Authority). Of these, only the boat ramp and waterway projects touch on maritime infrastructure where mooring arrangements might appear, but neither posting emphasizes rope, cable, or rigging hardware as the primary procurement target.

Sarasota County is the only issuing body showing relevant recent activity. The county issued two RFQs—one in February 2026 and another in April 2026—to establish a prequalified contractor pool for installation, maintenance, relocation, and removal of marine navigation aids across Sarasota Bay, Roberts Bay, Little Sarasota Bay, Dona Bay, Lemon Bay, and the Myakka River. Both solicitations specify that contractors furnish pilings, stainless steel hardware, and other necessary materials while the county supplies dayboards, regulatory signs, and buoys. Contractors must hold a Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation license as a Certified General Contractor, Certified Marine Specialty Contractor, or Certified Marine Pile Driving Specialty Contractor. The scope encompasses pilings, buoys, dayboards, and signage installation but does not explicitly itemize wire rope or mooring hardware as a discrete line item. Across the recent-opportunities block, no other county, city, school district, transit authority, or special-purpose district posted work clearly tied to mooring arrangements or rigging materials. The code appears underutilized in current state and local procurement, suggesting either that wire-rope mooring work is bundled into broader maritime construction contracts or that the code mislabels procurement actually driven by different commodity families.
