UNSPSC 78111704: Marine craft rental or leasing service

A service involving the rental or leasing of marine craft

UNSPSC 78111704 Marine craft rental or leasing service, a Commodity code, covers the lease and rental of vessels and watercraft for state and local government operations, including dive liveaboards, work boats, and specialized marine platforms. Recent solicitations reflect demand for both short-term operational rentals and asset-acquisition leases spanning wildlife management, environmental remediation, marine infrastructure maintenance, and municipal fleet support. The issuing bodies include state wildlife and conservation agencies, county marine resources divisions, and municipal public works departments, indicating uptake across state environmental stewards, coastal counties, and urban governments with waterway or waterfront operations.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Washington, with the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, Leon County, Escambia County Marine Resources Division, and the State of Florida representing the majority of recent volume. Representative opportunities include the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's competitive bid for one new flat-bottom boat and trailer (Solicitation PF260445MZ, due October 27, 2026), the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission's single-source procurement of live-aboard dive vessel services for marine debris removal in the Lower Keys over two years with estimated value of $200,000 (Solicitation SS16555, capability information due August 18, 2026), Leon County's single-source solicitation for dive liveaboard services in the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas (Solicitation SS16847, capability information due September 23, 2026), and Escambia County Marine Resources Division's RFQ for installation and maintenance of waterway signs, lights, and pilings across 15 navigation channels for fiscal year 2026 (Solicitation 20250923WA2615, responses due September 30, 2025). A fifth opportunity, Atlanta's IFB for fleet and off-road equipment rental and lease-to-purchase (Solicitation PE66062NONST2027000000454, proposals due July 28, 2026), falls outside marine-specific scope and represents a mismatch with the code's nominal focus on watercraft.
