UNSPSC 25172708: Algae control machine

A water current generator that prevents harmful algae blooms and red tides. Ship based or site based.

UNSPSC 25172708 Algae control machine is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers water and marina infrastructure maintenance equipment, not traditional algae-specific control apparatus. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code reveal a significant mismatch between the nominal taxonomy and actual buying patterns. Clay County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 RFB for Knights Marina & Lake Shore Boat Ramp Repair, Redevelopment and Improvements solicits full marina and boat-ramp construction and renovation work—labor, materials, equipment, and services across dock, seawall, and ramp systems. The Clackamas River Water Providers' May 2026 RFQ for a Hazmat Spill Response Trailer and Equipment targets a 12-foot by 6-foot towable containment and recovery system for riverine spill response, outfitted with booms, anchoring, sorbent materials, and recovery tools to protect drinking water intakes. Neither solicitation involves algae control machinery in the narrow sense. The code shows little aligned recent activity; state and local governments appear to use this code inconsistently or for tangentially related water infrastructure procurement.

The two opportunities span different issuing bodies and states. Clay County, Florida, issued the marina repair RFB with a July 6, 2026 response deadline under standard RFB terms with performance and payment bonds required. Clackamas River Water Providers, serving the Portland metropolitan area in Oregon, issued the RFQ with a May 15, 2026 deadline and a $50,000 state grant ceiling; that procurement includes set-aside preferences for women, minority, and veteran-owned businesses. The geographic spread is limited to two states (Florida and Oregon) across these two records. No incumbent vendors or repeat buyers appear in the opportunities block, and no dollar values are disclosed for the Florida marina work. Bidders pursuing this code should verify current state and local usage patterns before investing in algae-control capability development, as recent solicitations suggest the code may be applied to marine infrastructure and water-resource management equipment well outside traditional algae remediation scope.
