UNSPSC 25172703: Marine environmental control systems

UNSPSC 25172703 Marine environmental control systems is a Commodity code representing the purchase of specialized marine vessels, propulsion equipment, repair and maintenance services, and docking infrastructure that state and local governments use to operate waterway patrols, manage public water access, and maintain marine navigation assets. Recent solicitations show counties and school districts acquiring patrol response boats equipped with integrated navigation, communication, thermal imaging, and emergency lighting systems; states and counties establishing prequalified contractor pools for marine repair and maintenance across multi-manufacturer fleets; and municipalities contracting for dock, boardwalk, and boat lift installation and repair at public water access points. Chatham County, Georgia has emerged as a repeat buyer, soliciting a 27-foot-4-inch aluminum-hulled marine patrol response vessel funded through the 2025 DHS/FEMA Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) with a 30 percent M/WBE participation goal and Build America, Buy America compliance requirements, alongside separate bids for two Mercury outboard motors for Marine Patrol operations. The issuing-body mix spans county sheriffs' offices, county marine patrols, school districts managing waterfront facilities, state procurement divisions establishing master price agreements, and county parks and recreation departments overseeing public docking facilities.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with Chatham County, Collier County, Sarasota County, and Pinellas County School District all posting solicitations between February and August 2026. The State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases is establishing a statewide master price agreement (MPA 620) for marine craft service, repair, and maintenance through September 30, 2027, open to state agencies, municipalities, and quasi-governmental organizations across Rhode Island.
