UNSPSC 92121900: Marine security services

Services to provide and operate security vessels that patrol and maintain security around installations adjacent to on or in navigable waters.

UNSPSC 92121900 Marine security services is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it consist entirely of terrestrial armed and unarmed security guard services, facility access control, and event security staffing across courthouses, transit centers, schools, municipal offices, housing authorities, water parks, and cultural venues — work bearing no relationship to maritime operations or port security. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source records or that the code is being misapplied at the point of entry.

State and local issuers across Texas, California, Florida, Oregon, Georgia, North Carolina, and other jurisdictions are actively soliciting armed and unarmed security personnel, with response dates concentrated in June through August 2026 and spanning counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, housing authorities, and specialized entities such as courts and cultural departments. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission armed and unarmed security guard services for Region 11 (IFB HHS0017369, due August 6, 2026, with historical spend of $3.7 million over a 28-month period), the Superior Court of California, County of Sutter armored car deposit services (IFB SP20260015, due July 23, 2026), the City of Santa Fe Buckman Direct Diversion facility security guard services (ITB FY26ITB063, bid due April 6, 2026, including armed mobile patrol and mobile patrol with 24-hour coverage and strict performance benchmarks), and the City of Dallas Charles W. Eisemann Center security and ushering services (estimated annual value $225,000, bids due August 4, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, with multiple HHSC region-based IFBs and state agency solicitations, followed by California court systems and Florida municipalities. Given the pervasive classification mismatch, business development professionals should treat this code's taxonomy as unreliable and verify scope alignment independently before pursuing opportunities tagged as 92121900.
