UNSPSC 72141210: Marina construction service

The building of marinas owned by others

UNSPSC 72141210 Marina construction service is a Commodity code that covers the design, fabrication, installation, and repair of waterfront structures including docks, piers, seawalls, boat ramps, mooring systems, and related marine infrastructure. State and local governments procure these services through city parks and recreation departments, county boards of commissioners, transit and port authorities, and special-purpose water management districts. Recent solicitations span fixed-price projects, on-call service contracts, and design-build engagements, with issuing bodies ranging from small municipalities to large regional authorities managing public waterfront access and recreational facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and the Atlantic coast, with the highest volume of recent opportunities posted in Florida across multiple jurisdictions including Brevard, Collier, Pinellas, and Escambia counties and the cities of Sarasota, Tampa, West Sacramento, Stonecrest, and Palm Beach. Representative recent solicitations include the City of West Sacramento's ITB for Public Boat Dock Debris Deflector Repair (response due July 10, 2025, approximately $350,000), Escambia County's ITB for Bob Sikes Fishing Pier South rehabilitation under federal RESTORE and DH017 funding with substructure repairs and cathodic protection (due July 27, 2026), the City of Tampa's RFQ for waterway markers installation and maintenance across jurisdictional waters with a $175,000 annual contract value (due May 12, 2025, with a 5 percent bid discount for SLBEs and U-WMBEs), Chatham County's RFP for annual on-call marine construction services at not to exceed $75,000 per year across 19 county sites (due July 17, 2026), and the Brazos River Authority's design-build RFB for Lake Limestone Park loading dock and fishing pier (sealed bids due May 7, 2026). Work commonly involves environmental compliance under Army Corps of Engineers permits, Section 404 Clean Water Act authorization, manatee and sea-turtle protection conditions, prevailing wage requirements when federal or state funds participate, and 100 percent performance and payment bonds. Issued bodies increasingly structure procurements as on-call or continuing-services contracts with not-to-exceed annual ceilings and optional renewal periods, particularly for maintenance and minor repairs at multiple parks and recreation sites.
