UNSPSC 25172706: Silt protector

A floating membrane comprised of high strength synthetic textiles that prevents spreading of sand, soil and dirty water generated by reclamation of marine and river, dredging operations. It consists of a floatation part, a canvas part and a connection part.

UNSPSC 25172706 Silt protector is a Commodity code that encompasses erosion-control and containment materials used in water-side construction, environmental remediation, and spill-response operations. State and local governments procure silt protectors primarily through county boards of commissioners, regional water authorities, and special-purpose districts for shoreline stabilization, marina and boat-ramp repairs, and hazmat containment in riverine and lacustrine environments. The work spans both capital projects requiring permanent or semi-permanent erosion barriers and emergency-response equipment integration where silt and sediment control is a component of larger containment systems.

Recent activity shows issuing bodies concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. Clay County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an RFB in June 2026 (Solicitation 2526089, due July 6, 2026) for repairs, redevelopment, and improvements at Knights Marina Boat Ramp and Lake Shore Boat Ramp, where silt-protection measures are integral to the marina-restoration scope. In Oregon, Clackamas River Water Providers issued an RFQ in May 2026 (Solicitation SR0300500016818, due May 15, 2026) for a fully equipped hazmat spill-response trailer including containment booms, anchoring systems, and sorbent materials for on-water spill protection along the Clackamas River, funded through a $50,000 state grant. The latter procurement carries set-aside preferences for women, minority, and veteran-owned businesses. Regional water authorities and county-level agencies appear to be the primary issuing bodies under this code in recent postings.
