UNSPSC 78111702: Overnight ship cruises

UNSPSC 78111702 Overnight ship cruises (Commodity) covers liveaboard vessel services for multi-day operational missions in marine environments—including scientific diving operations, marine debris removal, and specialized underwater work—rather than recreational cruise vacations. State and local buyers include environmental and wildlife agencies, county governments, and schools. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission and the State of Florida (acting through Leon County) have issued single-source procurement notices for dive liveaboard services, while independent school districts and county transit authorities have posted separate transportation services opportunities under different UNSPSC codes. The code shows limited recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; most recent state and local opportunities tagged to overnight cruises involve unrelated services such as occupational medical surveillance, paratransit, and IT infrastructure.

Florida and Washington dominate the geographic spread of recent opportunities. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission posted a single-source capability notice (SS16555) on July 28, 2026 for a liveaboard dive vessel supporting multi-day marine debris removal in the Lower Keys and Dry Tortugas, with responses due August 18, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $200,000 through July 28, 2028. The State of Florida, through Leon County, issued a companion single-source notice (SS16847) on September 1, 2026 for dive liveaboard services in the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas, with capability submissions due September 23, 2026. Both Florida procurements target specialized overnight diving operations requiring multi-diver accommodations and multi-day endurance, scoped to environmental and marine conservation work rather than tourism. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services (not overnight cruises) with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026. Recent opportunities in Georgia and additional Monroe County, Florida solicitations address student transportation, paratransit, and IT infrastructure—services not aligned with the overnight cruise code's scope.
