About UNSPSC 78101703
UNSPSC 78101703 Domestic barge transport services (Commodity) covers floating, removal, transport, and disposal of derelict vessels—primarily small sailboats and barges grounded or partially submerged in shallow waterways. State and local governments use this code to solicit specialized marine contractors for environmental remediation and public-nuisance abatement tied to grant-funded derelict-vessel removal programs. The work encompasses hazardous-material removal (fuel, batteries, engines, holding tanks), turbidity control, environmental best-management practices, photo documentation, and transport to authorized landfills or disposal facilities, with comprehensive marine-liability insurance (Protection & Indemnity, Maritime Workers Compensation, Marine Pollution Liability) required. Issuing bodies are exclusively or nearly exclusively county marine-resources divisions and environmental departments supporting state wildlife or fish-and-game grant applications; Escambia County Marine Resources Division appears as the dominant repeat buyer across the recent opportunities, issuing multiple price-quote solicitations for grant-supported removal projects.
Recent activity concentrates in Florida, specifically coastal counties around Pensacola and the Panhandle; all five recent derelict-vessel opportunities originated from Escambia County (Pensacola area) between March and July 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Escambia County Marine Resources Division's Invitation to Quote for the 32-foot Catalina (WM2638, due July 20, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.), the 30-foot Morgan (WM2633, due July 20, 2026), the 27-foot Catalina Sailboat in Bayou Chico (WM2630, due June 12, 2026), and earlier removals of the 35-foot Hunter Sailboat "Mojoe" (WM2535, due March 6, 2026) and the 31-foot C.E. Ryder "Home Free" (WM234, due March 6, 2026). All require electronic submission through OpenGov or ProcureNow procurement portals, impose tight seven-to-fourteen-day completion windows, and demand single lump-sum pricing covering all labor, equipment, transport, and tipping fees.
