UNSPSC 72154009: Industrial dock and dock equipment installation service

The installation of industrial docks and related dock equipment

UNSPSC 72154009 Industrial dock and dock equipment installation service is a Commodity code capturing the design, fabrication, and installation of waterfront infrastructure—docks, piers, seawalls, mooring systems, and related structures—procured by cities, counties, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts across the United States. State and local buyers use this code for new construction, rehabilitation, and emergency repairs of public water-access facilities, from floating mooring pads and fishing piers to boat ramps and seawall replacements that address erosion, tidal flooding, and recreational access.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, Missouri, and California, with particularly dense procurement by coastal municipalities and county parks departments. The City of West Sacramento (California) issued an IFB for a 235-foot debris deflector repair and reinstallation on the Sacramento River for $350,000, with sealed bids due July 10, 2025 and prevailing wage requirements; Escambia County (Florida) solicited bids under ITB PD 25-26.089 for Bob Sikes Fishing Pier South rehabilitation—a federally funded RESTORE project involving pile jacketing, concrete repairs, ADA upgrades, solar lighting, and end-span removal, with bids due July 27, 2026 and Davis-Bacon compliance mandatory. The City of Tampa Parks & Recreation Department issued an RFQ for waterway markers installation and maintenance across multiple bay systems and river segments under an annual contract with 5% bid discounts for certified Small Local Business Enterprises and U-WMBEs, capped at $10,000 and $20,000 respectively, for an estimated $175,000 annual value. Chatham County, Georgia posted overlapping RFPs for on-call marine construction services covering 19 county sites with roughly 4,200 linear feet of wood structures, 1,100 linear feet of aluminum, and 1,400 linear feet of concrete—repairs to boardwalks, docks, fishing piers, and bridges under $25,000 per project, with proposals due July 17, 2026 and a not-to-exceed annual value of $75,000 per contract. The Brazos River Authority (Texas) issued a design-build RFB for Lake Limestone Park loading dock and fishing pier featuring pile-supported construction with Wahoo Docks identified as the primary approved manufacturer. The Texas General Land Office posted two solicitations: an RFP for wooden bridge removal in Palacios with bids due April 2, 2026 and a mandatory 1.0% VetHUB subcontracting goal, and an RFP for bilge facility removal and replacement at Cove Harbor (Rockport) with a 0.50% VetHUB goal, bids due June 3, 2026, and anticipated award by June 22, 2026. The City of Sarasota (Florida) solicited bids for Bayfront Park seawall replacement spanning 1,500 linear feet with living seawall modules and Baywalk restoration, funded in part by a $3.588 million FDEP Resilient Florida Grant and subject to federal compliance; the Town of Palm Beach issued an ITB for living shoreline stabilization at North Lake Way with rock breakwaters and mangrove restoration, bids due May 18, 2026, evaluation prioritizing lowest responsive bidder; Brevard County (Florida) solicited bids for Osteen Park shoreline rock revetment installation requiring a Certified Marine Contractor License and prior experience with similar projects, with bids due April 14, 2026 and 90-day completion. The City of Stonecrest (Georgia) requested bids for Everett Park kayak launch dock and parking lot improvements under ITB CITB-0011-26, with bids due August 4, 2026, mandatory pre-bid on July 8, 2026, and 60 to 180 calendar days for substantial to final completion. Collier County (Florida) established a multi-contractor pool through IFQ No. 25-8346 for ongoing marine construction services including beach maintenance, seawall repairs, dock installations, and dredging, with proposals due July 16, 2025 and historical annual spending near $500,000. Recent opportunities consistently require prevailing wage compliance (Davis-Bacon Act or state equivalents), performance and payment bonds at 100% of contract value, comprehensive marine and general liability insurance ($1–2 million per occurrence typical), E-Verify participation, and adherence to environmental permits from Army Corps of Engineers, state fish and wildlife agencies, and water management districts; several solicitations impose federal infrastructure funding compliance including Build America Buy America Act domestic materials mandates and Section 3 worker-hiring obligations. Set-asides and preferences vary—some jurisdictions offer local vendor or certified small business discounts; Texas applies HUB and VetHUB subcontracting goals; and Florida coastal projects often prioritize minority and women's business enterprise participation. Geographic concentration is highest in Florida (Tampa, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Palm Bay, Pensacola, Brevard County) and Texas (Austin-area utilities, Rockport, Burnet County), with active secondary markets in Georgia (Chatham County, DeKalb County, Atlanta metro) and California (Sacramento region). Mobilization, demobilization, and environmental compliance—particularly turbidity control, manatee and sea-turtle protection, and invasive-species prevention—represent significant cost drivers and schedule risks across the code's current opportunity set.
