UNSPSC 25172803: Marine hydraulic systems

UNSPSC 25172803 Marine hydraulic systems (Commodity) encompasses hydraulic-powered equipment and systems deployed in port, marine, and coastal applications, including dredge pumps, crane hydraulics, oyster sampling tongs, and integrated hydraulic power units for marine operations. State and local governments procure marine hydraulic systems primarily through county ports, coastal resource agencies, and municipalities managing waterfront infrastructure—Collier County and Broward County in Florida, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and the Town of Palm Beach have posted activity under or adjacent to this code in the past four months. Work being solicited includes maintenance dredging requiring 14-inch hydraulic dredges capable of 6,000-foot pumping distance and coarse sand handling; port crane hydraulic systems and replacement parts for ship-to-shore and mobile harbor equipment; hydraulic oyster sampling tongs paired with fixed-displacement hydraulic power units; and statewide marine craft repair and maintenance services spanning multiple manufacturer platforms. Environmental compliance, third-party turbidity monitoring, and prevailing-wage requirements appear consistently in coastal dredging solicitations.

Recent opportunities span Florida and Texas, with the largest concentration in Florida's coastal counties. Collier County issued two nearly identical sealed-bid solicitations for the Wiggins Pass and Doctors Pass Maintenance Dredging Project—the earlier bid (268661R, due May 22, 2026, anticipated contract value $2.8 million) and a revised bid (268697, due August 10, 2026)—both requiring qualified hydraulic dredge contractors capable of 122,000 total cubic yards across two inlet systems within 90 calendar days of Notice to Proceed. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department posted an IFB (8022680994, due August 27, 2026) for one hydraulic oyster patent tong system and matching hydraulic power unit rated at 8 gallons per minute at 1,200 PSI. Broward County and the Town of Palm Beach issued RFIs on September 18, 2026 regarding sole-source designation for ZPMC and Konecranes port crane hydraulic systems and parts (responses due September 29, 2026). Rhode Island's Division of Purchases established an open-enrollment master price agreement (MPA 620, enrollment through September 30, 2027) for marine craft service and repair across the state fleet with MBE participation requirements. Activity reflects primarily county and state-level issuing bodies pursuing infrastructure maintenance and equipment replacement in coastal and inland waterway environments.
