UNSPSC 71122315: Diving support vessel services

Diving Support Vessel (DSV) is designed for diving operations carried out below and around oil production platforms and related installations in open waters. These vessels are used for underwater repair, inspection, construction works, well intervention and etc.

UNSPSC 71122315 Diving support vessel services is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities show no procurement activity related to diving support vessels. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code involve industrial instrumentation and gauges—pressure transmitters, temperature sensors, pressure gauges, flow meters, level controllers, and related accessories—procured by water and wastewater utilities for treatment facility operations, process monitoring, and SCADA system integration. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited indicates this code sees little relevant recent activity for diving support services in state and local government.

The recent opportunities cluster in Florida and Arizona, with issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Water Services Department (a five-year pressure and temperature instrumentation contract, IFB 26-0398, sealed offers due August 18, 2026), Hillsborough County (competitive sealed bids for Ashcroft pressure gauges, ITB 26-00392, due September 21, 2026; and a sole-source procurement for specific Ashcroft models, due August 4, 2026), Collier County (a three-year single-source contract for Siemens process instrumentation through Gilson Engineering Sales, LLC, challenge period closing October 1, 2026), Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources in Georgia (vibration and temperature sensors, IWQ 136938, due October 12, 2026), and the City of Tampa (inventory gauges RFQ, due October 6, 2026). A secondary opportunity from Pasco County for copper sulfate supply (as-needed basis, due June 26, 2026) also carries this code but is unrelated to diving services. State and local buyers pursuing this code should recognize the tagging error and either confirm scope directly with procurement offices or redirect their search to water and wastewater instrumentation categories.
