UNSPSC 81103004 Mooring service is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses marina infrastructure repair, boat landing design and redevelopment, and waterfront facility improvements solicited by county and municipal governments. State and local buyers under this code are pursuing concrete work: dock and seawall repairs, boat ramp construction and upgrades, parking and restroom facilities at boat landings, and related marina redevelopment projects. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county boards of commissioners (Beaufort County, Clay County), city governments (Union City, Nicholls, College Park, Fort Myers), and regional water authorities (Lower Colorado River Authority). Counties and cities post these opportunities as RFBs (Requests for Bid) and RFQs (Requests for Qualification) for design and engineering services or construction execution, typically requiring qualified and licensed contractors with demonstrated marina, boat-ramp, or waterfront construction experience and current insurance coverage including professional liability and performance bonds where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and is geographically dispersed across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas. Clay County Board of County Commissioners posted RFB 2526089 on June 22, 2026, for repairs, redevelopment, and improvements at Knight's Marina and Lake Shore Boat Ramp, with bids due July 6, 2026; the solicitation references multiple design attachments and addendum revisions, requiring qualified licensed contractors and performance bonds. Beaufort County issued RFQ 052125 on April 23, 2026, for the Alljoy Boat Landing and Parking design project, with proposals due May 21, 2025, seeking survey, geotechnical investigation, engineering design, construction phase management, permitting, and wetland services on an 18-month timeline. The Lower Colorado River Authority in Texas posted RFQ 000000138B on March 11, 2026, for a long-term master agreement in architectural services with a May 1, 2026, deadline. The code shows consistent municipal and county demand for waterfront asset improvement but limited volume relative to broader design and engineering procurement activity.
