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 that state and local governments use to procure armed and unarmed security personnel, security coordination services, and related staffing for facility access control, perimeter monitoring, event security, and emergency response across public buildings, transportation hubs, correctional facilities, and special events. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses both standing security guard deployments and event-specific security coordination, ranging from routine facility patrols and checkpoint operations to specialized services such as off-duty law enforcement scheduling, inmate security at medical facilities, and armed commission officer details. State agencies, counties, municipalities, school districts, port authorities, and special-purpose districts issue under this code; repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple region-specific contracts for armed and unarmed guards), Texas state agencies, Florida school districts and port authorities, and Georgia county systems. Geographic activity spans Texas (high volume of HHS region-specific procurements), Florida (school districts, port authorities, and municipal facilities), Georgia (county systems and authorities), California (port authorities and county courts), and scattered activity in Colorado, South Carolina, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, and other states.

Recent representative opportunities include the Hillsborough County Public Schools sole-source procurement for off-duty sheriff's deputy scheduling and management services (Solicitation 26022SSDDST, notice posted October 19, 2026, protest period through April 20, 2026), in which HCPS seeks coordination of scheduling, invoicing, and portal access for off-duty security; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for unarmed security at the Rio Grande State Supported Living Center in Harlingen (HHS0017682, proposals due August 28, 2026), covering 24/7 campus patrols and emergency response with Spanish-language and developmental-disability-setting experience requirements; the City of Fort Worth's RFP for security guard services across multiple departments (RFP 26-0266, proposals due October 15, 2026, with Addendum No. 1 extending from October 1), covering 30,000+ estimated annual hours with a 30% small business participation goal for Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County firms; the Ontario International Airport Authority's RFP for professional unarmed airport security (2026RFP083, proposals due October 19, 2026), requiring 10 years continuous security experience and 3 years airport security experience with California licensing, and emphasizing 8–10% small business participation; and the Volusia County Ocean Center's RFP for event staffing and security across three service lines (26P124JJ, proposals due December 9, 2026), covering ticket-taking, entry checkpoints, and crowd management at a convention center that utilized third-party staffing 52 times in the prior 12 months. Most solicitations employ RFP, RFQ, or IFB notice types; response dates cluster between late July and October 2026, with some (particularly Texas HHS contracts) featuring VetHUB subcontracting mandates. The code shows sustained demand across geographically dispersed issuing bodies with no single jurisdiction dominating recent activity.
