UNSPSC 81103004: Mooring service

A service involving the securing of a vessel to any permanent structure such as quays, wharfs, jetties, piers, anchor buoys, and mooring buoys. A ship is secured to a mooring to forestall free movement of the ship on the water.

UNSPSC 81103004 Mooring service (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code describes marine mooring and related services, yet the recent opportunities attached to this code include logo design and branding (City of Hampton, Georgia RFP 2026-08), irrigation installation and maintenance (Columbus Consolidated Government RFP No. 27-0010), golf clubhouse commissioning (City of Madison Odana Golf Clubhouse), building plan review and inspection (City of Union City RFP-CD-26-01), and architectural and engineering services for a gymnasium (City of Nicholls RFQ following Hurricane Helene damage). Only two opportunities—Knight's Marina & Lake Shore Boat Ramp Repair (Clay County Board of County Commissioners RFB, bid due July 6, 2026) and Alljoy Boat Landing/Parking Design (Beaufort County RFQ #052125, proposals due May 21, 2025)—align with maritime infrastructure work that could legitimately fall under mooring-service scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing mooring services at the state and local level; the mismatch suggests procurement officers have tagged unrelated work under this code, rendering it unreliable as a targeting tool for mooring-service providers.

The geographic spread of these misaligned opportunities spans Georgia (Hampton, Columbus, Union City, Nicholls) and South Carolina (Beaufort County and Clay County), with issuing bodies primarily city governments and county commissions. The two genuinely relevant opportunities—the Clay County boat ramp repair RFB and Beaufort County boat landing design RFQ—are the only solicitations worth monitoring under this code for mooring-service work, though bidders should verify the actual scope documents before investing in proposal preparation, as code tagging at the state and local level remains inconsistent.
