UNSPSC 72141213: Waterway construction service

The building of waterways owned by others

UNSPSC 72141213 Waterway construction service is a Commodity code that encompasses design, engineering, and construction of marine infrastructure including floating docks, fishing piers, boat ramps, bulkheads, sheet pile walls, and waterway-restoration structures. State and local governments procure this work through departments of marine resources, transit authorities, county parks and recreation boards, municipalities, and special-purpose water management districts. Recent solicitations show active procurement across harbor improvements, boardwalk construction, dock rehabilitation, stream restoration, and erosion-control projects.

The issuing-body mix spans state agencies (Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Department of Water Resources, Texas General Land Office), county governments (Escambia County, Beaufort County, Chatham County, Pinellas County, Pasco County), municipalities (City of Cocoa, City of Tampa, City of Long Beach, City of Meriden, City of Stonecrest, City of West Sacramento), transit authorities (Chatham Area Transit Authority), and special-purpose districts (St. Johns River Water Management District, Central Florida Tourism Oversight District). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Escambia County, Pinellas County, Brevard County, Charlotte County, St. Johns River district), South Carolina (Beaufort County), and Georgia (Chatham County), with additional recent work in Mississippi, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, California, and Utah. Representative opportunities include the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources requesting sealed bids for the Ocean Springs Harbor Project (bulkhead, piers, electrical infrastructure; IFB #3160008290, due November 17, 2026); Chatham Area Transit Authority requesting proposals for a Plant Riverside Ferry Dock and Shelter in Savannah (design-build floating dock with solar lighting; RFP, due November 6, 2026); Glynn County requesting bids for East Beach Massengale Park Boardwalk demolition and pier reconstruction (IFB27-011, due November 4, 2026); Charles County, Maryland requesting sealed bids for NPDES Oak Ridge Park East Stream Restoration including 1,400 linear feet of stream stabilization (ITB, due October 13, 2026); and Escambia County requesting bids on Bob Sikes Fishing Pier South rehabilitation including pile jacketing and cathodic protection (RESTORE Act–funded, due October 2, 2026). Cooperative purchasing vehicles and on-call marine-construction contracts are active, notably Chatham County's annual on-call contract for Parks & Recreation marine work (not-to-exceed $75,000 per year) and Pinellas County's work-order contract for design and construction across multiple park sites. Federal compliance requirements including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy America and Build America Act domestic-materials mandates, and environmental-permit coordination with Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permits appear consistently across RESTORE Act, FTA-funded, and water-management-district projects.
