UNSPSC 72141216: Offshore construction vessel service

Service for the use of marine construction vessels commonly used to support construction of offshore facilities engineering and support. Examples include derrick barge and pipelay barge

UNSPSC 72141216 Offshore construction vessel service is a Commodity code encompassing the design, fabrication, and installation of marine structures serving recreational and public-access functions—docks, piers, seawalls, revetments, and boardwalks—at state and local waterfront facilities. State and local governments procure this work through county parks and recreation departments, municipal utilities and public works divisions, water authorities, and independent special districts, with recent activity concentrated in Florida and Georgia coastal counties and Texas riverside jurisdictions. The work ranges from small-scale dock or mooring-pad installation to substantial seawall rehabilitation and living shoreline projects, often involving pile driving, sheet pile installation, concrete work, cathodic protection systems, and environmental compliance with Army Corps of Engineers permits, state water management districts, and marine habitat protection requirements. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, E-Verify, and federal compliance provisions appear frequently, particularly when projects receive federal funding through FEMA, HUD, RESTORE Act, or FDOT mechanisms. Bonding (bid, performance, and payment) and comprehensive marine and general liability insurance are standard contract requirements.

Recent activity includes the City of West Sacramento (ITB, sealed bids for Public Boat Dock Debris Deflector Repair, due July 10, 2025, estimated $350,000); Escambia County, Florida (ITB for Bob Sikes Fishing Pier South rehabilitation under RESTORE and DH017 federal funding, due July 27, 2026); the City of Tampa Parks & Recreation (RFQ for waterway markers installation and maintenance, due May 12, 2025, estimated $175,000); the Brazos River Authority, Texas (design-build RFB for Lake Limestone Park loading dock and fishing pier, due May 7, 2026); Chatham County, Georgia (RFP for annual on-call marine construction services, due July 17, 2026, not-to-exceed $75,000 per year); the City of Sarasota (ITB for Bayfront Park Seawall Reconstruction, 1,500 linear feet, approximately $6.2 million total project cost with federal and state grant funding); and the Town of Palm Beach (ITB for living shoreline construction with rock breakwater and mangrove habitat restoration, due May 18, 2026). Geographic concentration appears strongest in coastal Florida (Tampa, Sarasota, Palm Beach, Brevard County), Georgia (Chatham County, DeKalb County), and Texas (Brazos River Authority, Escambia County-equivalent activities), with secondary activity in South Carolina and Missouri. Repeat procurers include coastal Florida municipalities and counties managing aging waterfront infrastructure; single-year or multi-year cooperative-vehicle frameworks are common, with on-call contracts offering annual not-to-exceed values in the $75,000 to $175,000 range and design-build or turnkey projects reaching into single-digit millions when substantial seawall or pier replacement is involved.
