UNSPSC 39121048: Alternative maritime power

Drive device which enables the connection of ships in port to shore side electricity to power on board services. This enables ships' diesel generators to be switched off, thereby reducing noise and emissions, such as particulate matter, nitrogen, sulphur and carbon oxides, and volatile organic compounds. Since 2012, an international standard on shore power, (ISO/IEC/IEEC 80005-1), has been in place to ensure worldwide compatibility between ports and vessels.

UNSPSC 39121048 Alternative maritime power, a Commodity code, encompasses the procurement of specialized marine vessels and equipment that state and local governments purchase to support waterway management, environmental enforcement, derelict vessel removal, and recreational operations. State and local buyers under this code acquire electrofishing boats for fisheries management, patrol and response vessels for marine law enforcement, specialized crane barges for salvage operations, and rental-use recreational watercraft. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state fish and wildlife departments, county marine resources divisions, municipal parks and recreation departments, and sheriff's marine patrol units. The geographic spread of recent activity is concentrated in Florida (Escambia County multiple solicitations for derelict vessel removal), Maine (Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife for electrofishing and patrol boats), Colorado (Parks and Wildlife), and scattered activity in Texas, New Hampshire, and other states. The scope reflects a mix of law-enforcement and resource-management missions, with electrofishing boats and patrol vessels representing the largest share of recent solicitations.

Recent representative opportunities underscore the diversity of work being procured. Colorado Parks and Wildlife issued multiple solicitations for aluminum V-hull work boats and 21-foot patrol boats (RFP/RFQ format, May–March 2026), with delivery into 2027 and vessel specifications tailored to netting, sampling, and emergency response. Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife issued back-to-back RFQs for electrofishing boats with specialized electrical systems and turnkey motor-and-trailer packages (RFQ 09A 260128-173, due February 25, 2026), addressing fleet standardization and operational readiness. Escambia County Marine Resources Division in Florida issued multiple price-quote solicitations for derelict vessel removal and transport (WM2629, WM2630, WM2633, WM2638, posted June–July 2026), each scoped to specific grounded or submerged vessels with strict timelines (work commence within 7 days, complete within 14 days) and comprehensive insurance and environmental best-management-practice requirements. The Colorado Department of Natural Resources also issued a sole-source procurement for two 21-foot Yamaha-powered aluminum patrol boats at approximately $297,000 (NPSS1 PMAA 2026*0132, due March 17, 2026), justified by existing fleet standardization and crew training. These solicitations consistently demand turnkey-ready deliverables, manufacturer certifications, and performance bonds, with evaluation weighted toward price and delivery capability. Activity is moderately distributed across state environmental agencies, county marine divisions, and municipal park systems, with no dominant repeat buyer emerging from the dataset.
