UNSPSC 78111703: Sightseeing boat excursions

UNSPSC 78111703 Sightseeing boat excursions (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve paratransit and demand-response transportation services, student transportation, IT infrastructure for a tennis center reconstruction, autonomous vehicle shuttle systems, and emergency mental health patient transport — none of which involve sightseeing boat services. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied as a catch-all classification by some issuing bodies for transportation and excursion services broadly, rather than for the specialized recreational boat tour activity the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of the unrelated opportunities spans Florida (Monroe County), Georgia (DeKalb County and Ivy Preparatory Academy), Texas (City of Richardson), and Wisconsin (City of Madison), with response dates ranging from February through July 2026. The issuing bodies include a county government, a charter school, municipal governments, and a police department. Because none of these opportunities involve actual sightseeing boat excursions, the code does not currently support a viable procurement pipeline for vendors specializing in recreational boating services. State and local governments pursuing competitive contracting in this code should clarify classification during the pre-bid phase to confirm the actual scope of work being solicited.
