UNSPSC 95121616: Pier

A pier is a raised structure over water, typically supported by widely spread piles or pillars

UNSPSC 95121616 Pier is a Commodity code that encompasses the design, construction, rehabilitation, and repair of fixed and floating pier structures for public waterfront access, marine recreation, and commercial use. State and local governments procure pier work across the spectrum of capital improvement cycles — from new construction at state parks and county recreation areas, to emergency repairs following weather events, to demolition and replacement of aging facilities. Recent solicitations show concrete and timber pier construction, floating dock and gangway installation, seawall tiebacks, dune walkovers, and specialized marine structures including fishery platforms and ADA-compliant boarding facilities.

Issuing bodies span city recreation and public works departments, county parks and recreation divisions, school districts, state parks commissions, and transit authorities, with particular concentration among Florida coastal municipalities responding to hurricane damage and aging infrastructure. Cities of Long Beach, Daytona Beach, Cocoa, St. Pete Beach, Sarasota, and Ventura County in California; Broward County, Pinellas County School District, Monroe County, and Escambia County in Florida; Chatham County and the City of Lawrenceville in Georgia; the State of Oregon; Washington State Parks; and the Brazos River Authority in Texas represent recent active buyers. Geographic spread is heavily concentrated in Florida and California coastal jurisdictions, with secondary activity in Texas, Georgia, Washington, Oregon, Connecticut, and Mississippi. The City of Long Beach Department of Public Works has posted multiple solicitations including the Marine Stadium Electrical Infrastructure (R-7292, IFB, bids due November 18, 2026) and the Naples Seawall Vista Del Golfo Tiebacks (R-7278, bids due September 16, 2026), both subject to California prevailing wage and Project Labor Agreement requirements. The City of Daytona Beach is procuring design-phase services for Main Street Fishing Pier replacement (Solicitation 2702RFQ, qualifications due November 5, 2026) with FEMA grant funding anticipated. Chatham Area Transit Authority in Savannah is seeking design-build proposals for the Plant Riverside Ferry Dock and Shelter (bids due November 6, 2026) under Federal Transit Administration funding with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage. Recent Florida solicitations reflect post-hurricane reconstruction cycles: the City of St. Pete Beach is bidding 7th Avenue Pier repairs (bids due November 4, 2026) following Hurricanes Helene and Milton damage, and the City of Cocoa is procuring the Lee Wenner Day Docks marina facility (bids due July 31, 2026, with Addendum 1 issued July 22, 2026) funded in part by Florida Inland Navigation District grant. Activity volume and geographic concentration suggest sustained demand driven by coastal infrastructure renewal, climate resilience initiatives, and federal funding availability through FEMA and state grant programs.
