UNSPSC 81101506: Naval architecture

UNSPSC 81101506 Naval architecture, a Commodity-tier code, covers structural and mechanical engineering services for public infrastructure, including marina and boat-ramp design, waterfront facility upgrades, and related engineering consulting work that state and local governments procure on both continuing and project-specific bases. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies commissioning structural design, geotechnical investigation, utilities engineering (wastewater, chilled water, solid waste systems), existing-facilities evaluation and rehabilitation, construction-phase inspection, and permitting and wetland services. The issuing bodies span special-purpose districts, counties, and municipalities. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District solicited three three-year structural and mechanical engineering continuing contracts (RFP16370, due July 31, 2026) covering utilities, structural design, water and wastewater facilities, and on-call programmatic support through task orders; Clay County solicited marina and boat-ramp repair, redevelopment, and improvements (RFB 2526089, due July 6, 2026) requiring licensed contractors for dock, seawall, and ramp construction; and Beaufort County (South Carolina) procured design and engineering for the Alljoy Boat Landing/Parking Design project (RFQ 052125, due May 21, 2025) encompassing survey, geotechnical investigation, engineering design, construction phase management, and wetland services.

Recent activity clusters in Florida (Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, City of Fort Myers) and South Carolina (Beaufort County), with secondary opportunities in Georgia (City of Nicholls, City of College Park, City of Union City) and Texas (Lower Colorado River Authority). The code also captures broader architectural and engineering services procurement, though several recent opportunities (plan review and inspection services, gymnasium architectural services, professional services libraries) diverge from naval architecture proper. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and Beaufort County represent repeat buyers. Opportunities are structured variously as continuing contracts with task-order work, qualifications-based selections for master agreements, and project-specific design-build procurements. Geographic concentration appears limited; the code shows activity across multiple states without dominant regional concentration.
