In water survey (IWS) is a service required to ensure the structural and operational integrity of a marine asset

UNSPSC 81103002 In water survey is a Commodity code covering marine vessel inspection, maintenance, and repair services that state and local governments procure for patrol boats, sheriff's water operations, and facility infrastructure support. State and local issuing bodies range from county sheriffs' departments and county transportation authorities to city parks and recreation departments and state agencies managing waterborne assets. The work encompasses mechanical and propulsion system servicing, hull and structural repairs, electrical and steering system maintenance, corrosion control, and diagnostic testing. Contractors typically provide either integrated one-stop-shop capabilities or specialized services, with requirements for marine certification, audited financials, and liability insurance covering general liability, workers' compensation, and garage liability.
