UNSPSC 25174604: Helm or boat seating

A luxury seat for a working environment that enables operators to enjoy optimum comfort and stability while performing their duties. This specialist range of seats has been developed to meet the demanding requirements for the modern wheel house or control centre

UNSPSC 25174604 Helm or boat seating is a Commodity code that covers seating components and integrated seating systems installed in marine vessels procured by state and local governments. Recent state and local opportunities show that what is actually being bought under this code reflects the broader marine vessel procurement ecosystem — specifically, seating and steering control elements as part of complete work boats and patrol vessels rather than seating products sold in isolation. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Hillsborough County (Florida) and Chatham County (Georgia) have recently sought complete marine safety and patrol vessels that incorporate helm seating as integrated components, while Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing organization, has established a framework agreement for law enforcement equipment available to participating governmental entities across multiple states. Marion County, Oregon awarded a separate contract for jet boat frame fabrication, which represents related marine vessel acquisition activity. The geographic footprint of recent activity includes the Southeast (Florida, Georgia), Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington counties participating through Sourcewell), and Midwest (Sourcewell's base jurisdiction).

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00402 on September 4, 2026 for a one-time purchase of one marine safety work boat with a $400,000 estimated contract value and a September 24, 2026 response deadline. Chatham County, Georgia posted ITB 25-0147-4 on July 8, 2026 for a marine patrol response vessel — a 27-foot-4-inch center console aluminum hull with dual Mercury SeaPro 300 engines, specified helm seating components (dual flip-up seating), and integrated navigation and tactical equipment — funded through the 2025 DHS/FEMA Port Security Grant Program with a 30% M/WBE combined participation goal and an August 10, 2026 due date. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, represents a cooperative contracting framework intended to serve thousands of public entities nationwide, though the specific equipment categories and pricing are accessible only through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal.
