UNSPSC 95121617: Dock

A structure on the water used for building or repairing or loading and unloading ships or ferries

UNSPSC 95121617 Dock (Commodity) encompasses the removal, repair, and replacement of waterfront structures including docks, piers, seawalls, and floating platforms that state and local governments are actively procuring. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers targeting derelict vessel removal from waters, dock and boardwalk repairs at parks and schools, seawall stabilization and replacement for flood mitigation, navigational aid installation and maintenance, and construction of new public boat launch facilities. Issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: Florida cities (Fort Myers, Tarpon Springs, Sarasota, Deerfield Beach, West Sacramento), Florida counties (Escambia, Monroe, Broward, Pinellas, Sarasota, Chatham, Clay), Georgia counties (DeKalb, Chatham), Texas municipalities and state agencies (San Angelo, Cibolo, Port Bolivar cleanup through GLO), Connecticut municipalities (New Haven), and specialized districts like the Brazos River Authority in Texas. Repeat buyers include Sarasota County (conducting multiple navigational aid and seawall repair solicitations) and Escambia County Marine Resources Division (issuing serial derelict vessel removal RFQs tied to FWC grant applications). The mix reflects broad geographic spread: Florida dominates recent activity with dock repairs, seawall work, and marine salvage tied to storm resilience and coastal grants; Texas shows seawall and boat ramp work; and isolated opportunities appear in California, Connecticut, and Georgia for dock and pier construction.

Recent representative solicitations illustrate the breadth of dock-related work. The City of Fort Myers (RFP26067, due August 18, 2026) seeks a five-year continuing contract for derelict vessel removal across Lee County, requiring unit pricing by vessel size and emergency mobilization fees, with diver certification and pollution-liability insurance mandatory. Escambia County Marine Resources Division (WM2638, WM2633, WM2630, WM2629, WM23412026, dated June–July 2026) issued multiple ITQs for floating, removing, and transporting specific derelict vessels to Perdido Landfill, with quotes due within days and marine liability coverage ($1 million P&I, $1 million workers comp, $1 million pollution) required. The City of West Sacramento (25065ITB, due July 10, 2025 and since passed) solicited bids for debris-deflector repair on the Sacramento River involving submerged work and environmental compliance. Pasco County (IFBSP26011, due April 28, 2026) and the City of Sarasota (2625HR, due May 6, 2026) are pursuing dock and dune-restoration projects with 60–75-day completion windows and comprehensive coastal-protection scope. The Brazos River Authority in Texas (S1410000017325, May 7, 2026 closed) sought design-build of a 220-foot courtesy loading dock and optional 300-foot fishing pier with Wahoo Docks as the primary manufacturer. Chatham County Parks & Recreation (2600732 and PE77548NONST2026000000388, due July 17, 2026) awarded on-call marine construction contracts with $75,000 annual not-to-exceed values. The prevalence of derelict-vessel work in Florida reflects state grant funding through FWC Derelict Vessel Removal programs; dock repairs cluster around school districts and municipalities addressing aging waterfront infrastructure and sea-level-rise resilience. Commodity-level activity is steady but project-driven rather than continuous, with strong seasonal and disaster-response drivers.
