UNSPSC 78131707: Floating production storage and offloading facilities service

A facility service which supports for (FPSO) Floating Production Storage and Offloading is an offshore vessel that produces and stores crude oil prior to tanker transport.

UNSPSC 78131707 Floating production storage and offloading facilities service is a Commodity code with little relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract name suggests offshore oil and gas infrastructure—floating platforms for hydrocarbon production and storage—but the recent opportunities posted under it reflect waterway docks, observation platforms, kayak launches, boat ramps, and marine navigation aids. This mismatch indicates the code is being applied inconsistently or that the tagging reflects a broader facilities-infrastructure classification that does not align with the code's intended scope. The state and local work being solicited involves construction, repair, and maintenance of fixed and floating waterway structures used for public access, observation, recreation, and navigation rather than commercial offshore energy operations.

Opportunities have been posted by county governments, school districts, and municipal authorities primarily in Florida and Texas, with isolated activity from state transportation departments. Recent solicitations include the Clay County Board of County Commissioners' Request for Bid for Knight's Marina and Lakeshore Boat Ramp repairs (due July 6, 2026), Pinellas County School District's Dock and Boardwalk Repairs at Madeira Beach Fundamental K-8 School (due April 20, 2026, contract value approximately $462,745), Sarasota County's Request for Qualifications for waterway navigation repairs and maintenance across multiple bays and rivers (due April 8, 2026, initial three-year term with multiple awards), Pasco County's Invitation for Bid for Withlacoochee River Park Observation Dock reconstruction (due April 28, 2026), and the City of Lewisville's Request for Bids for a kayak launch facility at Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area (due May 4, 2026, Opinion of Probable Cost $997,020.25). The geographic footprint centers on Florida, with secondary activity in Texas. Given the code's offshore energy orientation and the absence of floating production or storage operations in posted opportunities, activity under this code appears incidental to state and local procurement and does not reflect a sustained market segment.
