UNSPSC 92121901: Security boat service

Service to provide water patrol boats and security personnel to maintain a security perimeter around facilities and installations situated in or adjacent to rivers, oceans and other bodies of water

UNSPSC 92121901 Security boat service is a Commodity code that encompasses armed and unarmed security personnel services, mobile and stationary patrol, access control, screening, incident response, and facility protection across diverse state and local assets — despite the code's nominal focus on "boat service," recent solicitations show the code capturing general security guard services at government facilities, transit centers, cultural venues, courthouses, water treatment plants, schools, housing authorities, parks, and event venues. State and local governments soliciting under this code include Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Transportation), California and Florida superior courts, city governments (Dallas, Santa Fe, Santa Monica, Doral, Phoenix, Newark, Orlando, Charlotte, Albuquerque, Gallup, Albany, Bend), county governments (Orange County Florida, Sutter County California, Fort Bend Texas, DeKalb Georgia, Dane Wisconsin, Washington Oregon, Broward Florida), school districts (Bryan ISD, Clayton County Public Schools), housing authorities (Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority, Opportunity Home San Antonio), transit agencies (Charlotte Area Transit System, Orange County Transportation Authority), and special-purpose districts (University of Texas Health Science Center, Cherriots transit, Tampa Sports Authority, Louisville Parks and Recreation, Events DC).

Texas state procurement bodies dominate recent activity, with multiple concurrent IFBs from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission across ten regions seeking armed and unarmed security guard services for health facilities, psychiatric centers, and DSHS locations, most requiring mandatory HUB subcontracting plans with 26 percent VetHUB utilization targets. Representative opportunities span California courthouse security (Superior Court of Sutter County, IFB SP20260015 for armored car services due July 23, 2026; Superior Court of Tehama, RFP SP20260012 for armed entrance screening due July 23, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services (IFB HHS0017369 for armed and unarmed security across Region 11 due August 6, 2026; IFB HHS0017356 for emergency services in Region 01 due July 9, 2026), and educational and municipal facilities (City of Santa Fe, ITB FY26ITB063 for Buckman Direct Diversion facility due April 6, 2026; Bryan ISD RFP 264027 for 15 full-time positions due July 13, 2026). Geographic concentration centers on Texas, California, Florida, and the Southeast (Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia), with secondary activity in the Mountain West (New Mexico, Colorado), Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington), and Midwest (Wisconsin). Pricing structures are predominantly hourly rates on firm-fixed or fixed-price bases with annual CPI adjustments permitted in some cases; contract terms typically run one to three years with one to four optional renewal periods. Most solicitations mandate commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation coverage, and background checks; armed positions require state firearms licenses and multi-year documented experience.
