UNSPSC 78142003: Rental of freight vessel for coastal and transoceanic water transport with operator

UNSPSC 78142003 Rental of freight vessel for coastal and transoceanic water transport with operator, a Commodity code, covers vessel charter and leasing services for state and local water-dependent operations. The recent opportunities show that state and local agencies solicit under this code for a narrow, specialized scope: waterway infrastructure installation and maintenance performed by licensed marine contractors working from vessels or working boats, and equipment rental services more broadly construed to include fleet and off-road equipment alongside marine assets. The issuing bodies are primarily state natural-resource departments and county or municipal marine and public-works divisions managing waterway operations, navigation infrastructure, and mixed-asset fleet procurement.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife posted a competitive bid for a flat-bottom boat and trailer (PF260445MZ, due October 27, 2026). Escambia County Marine Resources Division solicited marine contractors via RFQ for installation and maintenance of waterway signs, lights, and pilings across 15 waterway zones over fiscal year 2026 (20250923WA2615, responses due September 30, 2025, with Marine Liability insurance minimums of $1,000,000 per occurrence). The City of Atlanta issued an IFB for rental and lease-to-purchase fleet and off-road equipment with maintenance and support services (PE66062NONST2027000000454, due July 28, 2026), which broadens the code's scope well beyond dedicated marine freight transport into general municipal equipment procurement.
