UNSPSC 81103011: Dry docking service

Dry docking is a term used for repairs or when a ship is taken to the service yard. During dry docking, the whole ship is brought to a dry land so that the submerged portions of the hull can be cleaned or inspected.

UNSPSC 81103011 Dry docking service is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes vessel servicing and maintenance in dry dock—hauling, inspection, repair, and refurbishment of ships and boats outside the water—but the three recent opportunities posted under this code in June 2026 span recreational dock and boat ramp construction (two solicitations) and IT infrastructure installation for a tennis center (one solicitation), none of which constitute dry docking service as the code defines it. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by the issuing bodies or a data artifact; recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect the actual scope the code name implies.

The issuing bodies are a municipality and a county government. The City of Stonecrest posted an ITB (CITB-0011-26, due August 4, 2026) for parking lot improvements and kayak launch dock installation at Everett Park, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit on July 8, 2026; the scope includes a floating kayak launch system, permeable parking lot, drainage, and site work in a regulatory floodway requiring U.S. Army Corps of Engineers coordination. Clay County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFB (2526089, due July 6, 2026) for repairs, redevelopment, and improvements to Knights Marina and Lake Shore Boat Ramp, with performance and payment bonds required and Addendum #2 posted May 28, 2026. Geographic activity is limited to Georgia (Clay County and DeKalb County) in the recent record. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, pursue only if your firm has relevant expertise in dock, marina, or boat ramp construction; the code itself does not reflect dry docking service procurement.
