UNSPSC 78141703: Marine navigational or communication services

UNSPSC 78141703 Marine navigational or communication services, a Commodity code, encompasses installation, maintenance, and support services for navigational systems, radio communications equipment, and associated infrastructure used by state and local maritime, transportation, and emergency-services agencies. Recent solicitations reveal a mix of conduit and low-voltage wiring installation, fire alarm and security systems integration, mobile radio and mobile data terminal maintenance, and specialized marine equipment repair—work that crosses traditional maritime boundaries into broader communications and infrastructure domains.

Issuing bodies include municipal utilities (Kissimmee Utility Authority), cities (Doral, Ocala, Essex), counties (Dorchester County in South Carolina, San Mateo County in California, Orange County in California via OCTA, DeKalb County in Georgia, Williamson County in Texas), school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas, Harlingen Consolidated ISD), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and regional cooperatives (Sourcewell, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative). Recent opportunities include the Kissimmee Utility Authority's RFP for conduit installation services at multiple concurrent locations with a three-year base term and two optional renewals (RFP 26036JG, response due July 28, 2026); the City of Doral's ITB for telecommunications wiring services—installation, termination, and configuration of copper and fiber optic cabling across data, television, video, and voice networks—with a three-year initial term and City options for three additional one-year renewals (ITB 2026-22, response due September 28, 2026); the Orange County Transportation Authority's IFB for maintenance support of 248 Harris M-7300 mobile radios and 248 mobile data terminals across its paratransit fleet at an estimated value of $200,000 for one year commencing September 1, 2026 (IFB 250403, response due July 27, 2026); and the Town of Essex's ITB for annual fall removal, winter storage, inspection, and spring reinstallation of 14 anchorage buoys, 11 channel markers, 2 cove buoys, three dock floats, and associated ramps, with removal work to occur on or after November 15, 2026 and be completed by November 30, 2026 (ITB 38810, response due September 24, 2026). Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Kissimmee, Doral, Ocala), California (San Mateo County, Orange County), Connecticut (Essex), South Carolina (Dorchester County), Georgia (DeKalb County), Texas (San Antonio, Harlingen, Williamson County), Michigan (GLWA), and multistate cooperative networks (Sourcewell, Region 7). The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in utility infrastructure, municipal communications networks, emergency-services fleet support, and maritime/waterfront asset management rather than traditional marine navigation systems.
