UNSPSC 71161403: Deadman anchor services

Mooring services using strong buried anchors for holding the vessel in place.

UNSPSC 71161403 Deadman anchor services (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The four recent opportunities tagged under this code involve landfill gas collection system infrastructure, park irrigation system conversion, digester gas utilization design-build-finance-operate-maintain contracting, and municipal executive search services—none of which involve deadman anchors or anchor services. The code appears misapplied across these solicitations, suggesting either data-entry errors in the tagging system or a mismatch between the code's definition and how state and local procurement offices classify anchoring work in practice.

The issuing bodies include a solid waste authority (Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority in Georgia), a municipal city government (City of DeBary, Florida), a regional water authority (Eastern Municipal Water District in California), and a city government (City of College Park, Georgia). Geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, and California. Because none of the recent opportunities represent authentic deadman anchor procurement, the code does not support a reliable characterization of what state and local governments actually buy under it, who the repeat buyers are, or whether the category warrants active pursuit at present.
