UNSPSC 26101515: Gasoline outboard motor

A gasoline engine mounted outboard of a small boat for propulsion.

UNSPSC 26101515 Gasoline outboard motor is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure engines and complete marine propulsion packages for law enforcement, conservation, environmental response, and emergency management operations. The solicitations under this code reveal that state and local buyers are purchasing outboard motors as components within integrated boat packages—typically 15- to 25-foot aluminum or fiberglass vessels equipped with single or twin engines ranging from 25 to 350 horsepower, together with trailers, rigging, and law enforcement-specific electronics. The work spans complete vessel procurement for public safety fleets rather than standalone motor sales; Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and county marine resource agencies are the dominant issuing bodies. These agencies solicit through IFB and ITB notices, with evaluation criteria emphasizing lowest price, vendor qualifications and past performance, delivery schedule, and life-cycle cost. Vendors must hold active marine dealer, manufacturer, or authorized distributor licenses and comply with USCG and federal safety standards. The typical procurement involves multiple units distributed across regional offices or operational zones.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Florida, Georgia, and Maryland. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has issued at least thirteen separate IFBs since May 2026 for boat-and-motor packages ranging from 15- to 25-foot vessels, including solicitations 8022675664 (four 15-foot packages with 40 HP tiller motors, due April 16, 2026), 8022673555 (three 25-foot packages with 350 HP motors, due April 22, 2026), and 8022675102A through 8022675102C (multiple 17- and 18-foot mud boat packages with 40 HP surface drive motors, due June and August 2026). The Illinois Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police issued four separate solicitations between late April and late May 2026 for motor replacement and installation services, including one for twin 250–300 HP V8 engines (due May 5, 2026) and three for single-motor replacements (150 HP and 115–150 HP configurations). The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission solicited one Carolina Skiff E21 with Suzuki 140 HP motor and trailer (due October 23, 2026). The Glynn County, Georgia Board of Commissioners issued IFB27-012 for a public safety console boat with complete propulsion and electronics (due October 28, 2026), and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources requested two Yamaha XF450NSA motors with rigging (due July 7, 2026). Volusia County, Florida issued an RFQ for 16- to 20-foot skiff packages with 50+ HP motors (due May 20, 2026), and Sourcewell, on behalf of multiple Washington-state counties and other participating entities, issued a cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP (due June 16, 2026). Response windows are typically 7 to 60 days, with delivery timelines requiring completion between 30 and 180 days from order issuance.
