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, a Commodity code, captures seating systems installed in law enforcement and recreational watercraft procured by state and local agencies. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy complete vessel systems where helm and passenger seating are integrated components rather than standalone seats. The Chatham County, Georgia ITB for a 27-foot marine patrol response vessel specifies dual flip-up seating within a comprehensive spec that includes engines, electronics, fuel systems, and structural elements. Similarly, Collier County Parks and Recreation solicitations for ski boats in Florida target 5–6 person seating capacity as part of turnkey 18–22 foot fiberglass hulls with inboard engines and trailers. The code sees activity from county sheriff's offices and parks departments sourcing new vessels for marine patrol and recreational instruction programs. Recent issuing bodies include Chatham County and Collier County, both in the Southeast, both repeat buyers across multiple watercraft procurements in 2026.

Geographic concentration is strongest in the Southeast, particularly Florida and Georgia. The Chatham County marine patrol response vessel (ITB 25-0147-4, due August 10, 2026) and two Collier County ski boat procurements (Quick Quote QQ2026095 and QQ2026112, March and April 2026) drive visible recent activity in that region. Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) spans multiple states including Washington and Oregon jurisdictions, though the RFP documents do not itemize whether vessel seating is a specific scope line. Marion County, Oregon's jet boat frame fabrication RFQ (due April 22, 2026) addresses frame assembly rather than seating directly. The most concrete recent opportunity is Chatham County's ITB 25-0147-4, a $1.3 million marine patrol vessel funded by DHS/FEMA Port Security Grant with a 30% M/WBE participation goal, calling for Mercury SeaPro engines, integrated electronics, and sealed bids due August 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
