UNSPSC 95121602: Dry dock

A place where ships and boats are brought to be repaired and maintained

UNSPSC 95121602 Dry dock, a Commodity code, describes maintenance and repair services for vessels in dry-dock facilities, but the recent state and local opportunities block shows the code sees little activity aligned with its nominal scope — the one relevant solicitation is Caltrans' October 2026 IFB for dry dock ferry maintenance and repair services for the Real McCoy II on Solano Route 84, with bids due October 29, 2026. The remaining opportunities in the block span park irrigation improvements, stormwater and bridge rehabilitation, trail and boardwalk construction, and residential building renovation, none of which involve vessel dry-docking or marine repair. Caltrans' ferry maintenance RFP is the only state or local opportunity posted recently under this code that matches the work the code is intended to capture.

The Caltrans solicitation requires bidders to demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience in the dry-docking industry, with all welders performing hull, vehicle apron, or deck-structure work holding current American Bureau of Shipping certification prior to work start. The scope includes engine replacement for Tier 4 California Air Resources Board compliance, hydraulic and electrical system repairs and upgrades, structural repairs, hull inspection and plate replacement, propeller service, vessel stability checks, pilot house and deck hand room upgrades with HVAC replacement, lighting modernization, interior and exterior painting, and anti-corrosion work, plus United States Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection compliance and associated documentation. The estimated contract term runs from November 30, 2026 through July 31, 2027, with work to be completed within 45 calendar days from start date, late fees of $4,200 per day capped at 25 percent of agreement subtotal, and early completion incentives of up to 10 percent of agreement subtotal. A 5 percent small business preference applies to certified small businesses, micro-businesses, or small businesses for public works; non-small businesses are eligible if they subcontract at least 25 percent of the net bid price to certified small businesses. A Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise incentive program applies with a dollar cap of $100,000 for combined incentives and preferences.
