UNSPSC 26101516: Diesel outboard motor

A type of diesel engine that can be attached to the outside of a boat's hull and can be easily removed from the hull by a simple operation.

UNSPSC 26101516 Diesel outboard motor is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure marine propulsion equipment for operational fleets. Recent solicitations show demand for new outboard motors across law enforcement and marine patrol applications, with vendors supplying branded units to specification. Chatham County, Georgia sought two Mercury outboard motors for its Marine Patrol operations, requiring new equipment and explicitly rejecting equivalents or used units. The code also appears in cooperative purchasing frameworks — Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of Participating Entities including multiple Washington counties, with the potential to serve thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. Issuing bodies span county governments and state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles structured to aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions.

Activity under the code is geographically dispersed but sparse. Chatham County, Georgia posted solicitation 26-0038-4 with a due date of May 4, 2026 as an IFB for two Mercury outboard motors. Sourcewell's RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, involved Washington counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima. The Sourcewell procurement is structured as a cooperative vehicle allowing established contractors to serve broad public-sector customer bases. No other recent opportunities appear in the source; diesel outboard motors show limited transaction volume under this code, with activity concentrated in specialized marine patrol and law enforcement equipment procurement rather than routine marine fleet sourcing.
