UNSPSC 78111701: Water taxis

UNSPSC 78111701 Water taxis is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not involve water taxi services at all. The solicitations include occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees, paratransit and demand-response transportation for disadvantaged populations, school transportation services, and IT infrastructure reconstruction—none of which constitute water taxi operations or passenger ferry service. The code appears to be misapplied to these opportunities, or the tagging reflects a data entry error in the source system. State and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent relevant contract opportunities aligned with its nominal scope of water taxi services.

The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being solicited suggests this Commodity code either sees minimal activity in state and local procurement or is routinely mistagged by issuing bodies. Business development professionals should verify the accuracy of code assignments when evaluating opportunities tagged to 78111701 and may find more relevant activity under transportation-services codes that better reflect the work actually being procured—such as codes covering ferry operations, passenger transportation, or transit services—rather than pursuing opportunities listed under this water-taxi designation.
