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, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect offshore vessel work. Instead, state and local governments are soliciting waterfront infrastructure repair, replacement, and new construction—dock systems, piers, boat ramps, seawalls, bulkhead repairs, and floating dock segments—almost exclusively at inland and coastal public-access facilities. The scope encompasses structural rehabilitation of deteriorated piles, concrete decks, and pilings; replacement of dock fingers, pontoons, and railings; installation of gangways and launch systems; cathodic protection systems; and ADA accessibility upgrades. Work is procured as design-build or lump-sum construction contracts, often subject to Army Corps of Engineers permits, Florida or state environmental compliance, prevailing wage, and federal Buy America or Davis-Bacon requirements when grant-funded. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, municipal parks and recreation departments, county parks authorities, regional transit agencies, state fish and wildlife departments, and port authorities. Repeat buyers include Beaufort County South Carolina (multiple dock and pier projects), Florida counties (Brevard, Chatham, Clay, Escambia, Glynn, Pinellas), and coastal cities in Georgia and Florida.

The highest concentration of recent activity occurs in Florida and Georgia coastal jurisdictions, with secondary activity in South Carolina, Texas, Oregon, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources' IFB for Ocean Springs Harbor Project (bulkhead and pier installation, bids due November 17, 2026); Chatham Area Transit Authority's RFP for Plant Riverside ferry dock and shelter in Savannah, Georgia (concrete floating dock with solar lighting and Federal Transit Administration funding, proposals due November 6, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for comprehensive dock maintenance and rehabilitation at Downtown Marina (two-year term with renewal options, proposals due September 3, 2026); Beaufort County's IFB for Broad River Boat Landing floating dock replacement (seven aluminum dock segments, bids due September 23, 2026); and Escambia County's ITB for Bob Sikes Fishing Pier South substructure repairs with cathodic protection (pile jacketing and ADA upgrades, bids due October 2, 2026, re-solicited). Work-order contracts and on-call marine construction vehicles are active in Pinellas County and Chatham County, Georgia, with annual not-to-exceed values of $75,000 per year.
