UNSPSC 81102903: Marine warranty survey

Marine warranty survey, is a survey performed by a marine warranty surveyor that provides independent third-party technical review and approval of high value and/or high risk marine construction and transportation project operations, from the planning stages through to the physical execution.

UNSPSC 81102903 Marine warranty survey is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers installation, maintenance, and inspection services for waterway navigation infrastructure—signs, lights, pilings, and related markers used to maintain safety in marine channels and navigational zones. Escambia County Marine Resources Division (MRD) and similar county-level marine or waterway authorities are the primary issuing bodies under this code, tasking licensed marine contractors with mobilization, material installation, compliance verification, and ongoing maintenance of in-water infrastructure across fiscal-year service periods. Work includes installing wooden and fiberglass pilings 20 to 40 feet in length, mounting retro-reflective signs and navigational lights, and securing hardware to exacting insurance and regulatory standards. Contractors must hold Marine Liability coverage with minimums of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 policy aggregate, proper state licensure, and demonstrated expertise in waterway infrastructure installation; qualification requirements are rigorous and effectively restrict the vendor pool to firms with specialized marine construction and survey capability.

Escambia County, Florida, represents the recent activity visible under this code. The Marine Resources Division issued RFQ 20250923WA2615 on August 5, 2026, seeking quotes for installation and maintenance of waterway signs, lights, and pilings across approximately 15 navigable waterways and safety zones for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026), with responses due September 30, 2025, at 8:00 am. The solicitation is open to all qualified marine contractors and does not restrict to state residents or disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides, though out-of-state vendors must register with Sunbiz before payment. Pricing is structured by line item for installation and mobilization activities, suggesting material contract value for a full-year service period. No other recent state and local opportunities under this code are present in the available record.
