UNSPSC 25172705: Oil fence

A type of oil containment boom that surrounds oil spilled into bodies of water and prevents it from spreading.

UNSPSC 25172705 Oil fence is a Commodity code that encompasses containment and spill-response equipment for aquatic environments, including containment booms, anchoring systems, and associated deployment tools used to manage hazardous material spills in water bodies. State and local procurement under this code reflects environmental protection and emergency-response priorities, with issuing bodies spanning county governments, special-purpose water districts, and municipal-cooperative entities. Recent solicitations show demand for both integrated spill-response packages and standalone marine patrol equipment, with the latter sometimes tagged to the code despite operating in a different functional domain.

Recent activity reflects activity across multiple jurisdictions in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Clackamas River Water Providers, a coalition of cities and public water districts serving over 300,000 people in the Portland metropolitan area, issued a Request for Quotes on May 1, 2026, for a fully equipped, towable hazmat spill response trailer with a 12-foot by 6-foot configuration, minimum 1,500-pound payload capacity, and integrated containment booms, anchoring systems, ropes, personal protective equipment, sorbent materials, and skimming tools; that RFQ was due May 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time and was funded through a $50,000 grant from the State of Oregon, with set-aside preferences for women, minority, and veteran-owned businesses. Clay County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued a Request for Bid on June 22, 2026, for repairs, redevelopment, and improvements at Knights Marina and Lake Shore Boat Ramp, due July 6, 2026, requiring qualified and licensed contractors and performance and payment bonds. Galveston County issued a solicitation on June 4, 2026, for two complete marine patrol boat packages including vessels, motors, and trailers for the Sheriff's Department Marine Patrol Division, due July 2, 2026; this opportunity, while tagged to the oil fence code, represents marine patrol procurement distinct from spill-response equipment.
