UNSPSC 78111707: Inland water transport of passengers by ferry

UNSPSC 78111707 Inland water transport of passengers by ferry, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Ferries), paratransit and demand-response transportation for transportation-disadvantaged populations (Monroe County, Florida), IT and low-voltage infrastructure reconstruction (DeKalb County, Georgia), and student transportation services for a charter school (Ivy Preparatory Academy, DeKalb County, Georgia). None of these solicitations involve the direct provision of passenger ferry transport. The mismatch between the code's name and the work actually being procured suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that the code is rarely used for state and local opportunities involving ferry operations.

The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026, requesting occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026—a solicitation driven by regulatory compliance and worker safety rather than ferry passenger transport itself. Monroe County, Florida posted RFP 638 on June 20, 2026, for paratransit and demand-response transportation services due July 21, 2026, serving elderly, disabled, and income-eligible residents throughout Monroe County. Neither opportunity reflects the ferry passenger transport market. The code shows no recent state or local activity for the actual procurement of ferry operations, capacity, or passenger services, limiting its utility as a signal for businesses pursuing passenger ferry transportation work under state and local contracts.
