UNSPSC 25173004: Interior ship or boat lighting

UNSPSC 25173004 Interior ship or boat lighting is a Commodity code that encompasses marine vessel electrical systems, navigational aids, and compartment illumination installed or upgraded during vessel construction, maintenance, repair, or decommissioning. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show that governments procure interior and exterior lighting modernization as part of larger ferry and workboat maintenance contracts, waterway infrastructure installation programs, and derelict-vessel disposal operations. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and Florida county marine authorities represent the primary issuing bodies, alongside school districts sourcing LED lighting supplies for general facilities use. Caltrans is soliciting lighting modernization for the Real McCoy II ferry as part of a dry-dock maintenance and repair contract (IFB 04A7610, response due October 29, 2026), while Escambia County Marine Resources Division has posted multiple derelict-vessel removal solicitations that include lighting removal and recovery as part of comprehensive vessel-disposal scope. Hillsborough County is procuring a new marine safety work boat (ITB ITB2600402, response due September 24, 2026, estimated value $400,000) that will include integrated marine lighting systems. The code also captures LED lighting as-needed supply contracts at the school district level, such as Parkway School District's LED lighting bid (response due July 30, 2026, estimated twelve-month spend $35,000).

Activity concentrates in California and Florida, with secondary school district procurement in other states. Caltrans' ferry maintenance work in Solano County represents the largest single opportunity, specifying pilot-house and deck-hand room upgrades with HVAC replacement alongside lighting modernization, requiring contractors to possess minimum five years' dry-docking experience and welders to hold current American Bureau of Shipping certification. Escambia County Marine Resources Division dominates the volume through its derelict-vessel removal program funded by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, spanning multiple price-quote solicitations for vessels ranging from 16 to 32 feet, each requiring contractor compliance with marine-specific insurance (Protection & Indemnity, Maritime Workers Compensation, Marine Pollution Liability) and best management practices including photo-documentation and hazardous-material removal. Clay County (Florida) and Hillsborough County add marina and boat-ramp construction scope where lighting installation is ancillary to broader waterway infrastructure projects. School districts appear as steady but lower-dollar purchasers of generic LED lighting supplies rather than specialized marine systems.
