UNSPSC 25112000: Marine transportation support systems and equipment

Marine transportation support systems and equipment refer to the various tools, technologies, and systems used to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of goods and people by water. Any item used or intended for use in conjunction with boats or water related activities.

UNSPSC 25112000 Marine transportation support systems and equipment, a Class code, covers licensing and permitting of commercial water-based charter and tour operators at public parks and waterways, along with concession agreements for outfitter services at state parks. State and local governments under this code are licensing charter fishing and guided tour operators from designated public park locations, establishing terms and collecting annual permit fees, rather than procuring maritime infrastructure or vessel equipment itself. The issuing bodies include county parks departments, state natural resources agencies, and municipal police departments when transportation services are part of the scope.

The code sees limited recent activity across a fragmented geographic base. Sarasota County, Florida posted an IFB on July 17, 2026 for 60 commercial water-based charter boat and tour operator permits (due August 18, 2026) across five designated park locations, requiring bidders to hold current USCG Operator of Uninspaced Passenger Vessel licenses, State of Florida vessel registration, and saltwater charter licenses where applicable, with minimum annual permit fees of $1,200 and substantial marine liability insurance requirements ($1,000,000 per occurrence). The Georgia Department of Natural Resources issued an RFQ on April 20, 2026 for a five-year Concession Contract for Outfitter Services at Smithgall Woods State Park (due May 18, 2026), though this procurement was cancelled effective April 22, 2026 for redevelopment of requirements. A City of Madison Police Department RFP posted January 29, 2026 for Emergency Transport Service (due February 27, 2026) appears unrelated to marine transportation—it covers behavioral health patient transport to a mental health institute—and likely represents a mislabeling of the code assignment. Recent opportunities signal that marine transportation under this code is narrowly focused on permitting and concessions at specific waterfront parks rather than systemic procurement of equipment or infrastructure support.
