UNSPSC 95121602: Dry dock

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

UNSPSC 95121602 Dry dock is a Commodity code that names repair and maintenance services for vessels, bridges, and waterfront structures requiring isolation from water — yet recent state and local solicitations under this code span bridge replacement, roadway reconstruction, pedestrian trail construction, and stream stabilization work with no apparent connection to vessel dry-docking or marine hauling. The mismatch is stark: over thirty posted opportunities across the dataset reference bridge demolition and reconstruction, new concrete and prestressed girder spans, approach slabs, roadway widening, erosion control, and utility coordination — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of isolating ships or floating structures for repair or inspection. The issuing bodies are predominantly counties (Williamson County, Texas; Washington County, Oregon; Bulloch County, Georgia; Hillsborough County, Florida; Volusia County, Florida; Pinellas County, Florida; Marion County, Oregon; Denton County, Texas; Okaloosa County, Florida; Collier County, Florida), cities (Waco, Texas; Jackson, Mississippi; Charlotte, North Carolina; Arlington, Texas; Dallas, Texas; Marietta, Georgia; McKinney, Texas; Tallahassee, Florida; Palm Bay, Florida), state departments (Georgia DOT, Mississippi DOT), and special-purpose authorities (Orange County, Florida; Jekyll Island State Park Authority; Escambia County, Florida; DeKalb County, Georgia; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District).

The code shows no relevant recent activity. Nearly every opportunity tagged 95121602 describes civil infrastructure work — bridge deck repair, new bridge construction with prestressed concrete piles and superstructures, roadway improvements, culvert replacement, pedestrian and bike trail construction, and stream bank stabilization — that falls outside the scope of dry-dock services. A small number of bridge-repair solicitations (Ted Curcie Bridge Repair in Collier County; Main Street Bridge Deck Repairs in Volusia County; Bridge #199 rehabilitation in Montgomery County; Alton Bridge stabilization in Denton County) involve concrete spall restoration and cathodic protection but are repair and rehabilitation projects, not dry-dock isolation. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Oregon, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, but the distribution reflects general bridge and roadway procurement activity, not dry-dock demand. Unless state and local agencies are systematically miscoding waterfront structure repair and bridge work under UNSPSC 95121602, this code appears to capture little or no procurement aligned with its definition, and pursuing activity under it would likely waste qualification and proposal effort on misclassified infrastructure work.
