UNSPSC 81101606: Marine engineering

Encompasses shipbuilding engineering functions including creative project floating ship, applied research, technical development in the fields of design and construction and management of the production centers of buoyancy material (yards). As well as the maintenance and repair of these. The marine engineer is concerned with the design, planning, design and construction of ships, boats and floating structures, including oil platforms and offshore wind farms

UNSPSC 81101606 Marine engineering is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure professional engineering services for coastal restoration, water infrastructure resilience, stormwater management, and related water-system design and construction oversight. The code's recent activity spans coastal engineering, water-treatment system expansion, wastewater lift-station hardening, and general engineering project management—work typically solicited by counties, municipal water districts, transit authorities, and city governments through RFP, RFQ, and on-call task-order vehicles.

Sarasota County and the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) are the most active recent issuers. Sarasota County posted RPS #262855CG on July 16, 2026, seeking coastal engineering services for the Casey Key Resiliency Project—beach restoration and erosion control along 4.5 miles of shoreline with construction of 45 coastal structures and placement of 1,005,800 cubic yards of sand, with proposals due August 19, 2026; the scope includes permitting, regulatory approval from FDEP and the Army Corps of Engineers, and potential future work in monitoring and peer review. GLWA issued RFQ REQ0010641 on July 13, 2026, requesting engineering project management and construction inspection staff augmentation—five FTE project managers and two to four FTE construction inspectors for ongoing design and construction projects in Wayne County, Michigan, with proposals due August 10, 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Michigan, Arizona, and Texas. West Basin Municipal Water District (California) awarded on-call professional engineering services across hydraulic modeling, water-treatment facility design, and construction support through July 13, 2026, at $3 million total across five firms through June 30, 2029. Multiple Georgia counties and cities—Chatham, Effingham, Catoosa, and others—posted concurrent SOQ solicitations in July 2026 for roadway and infrastructure design under GDOT quality-based selection processes. Pursuit viability depends on coastal-engineering credentials, water-infrastructure experience, and ability to navigate federal funding compliance (Davis-Bacon, NEPA, Section 3) for water-resilience and flood-mitigation work; on-call structures dominate, reducing visibility of individual project values.
