UNSPSC 95121617: Dock

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

UNSPSC 95121617 Dock is a Commodity code covering the design, construction, repair, and rehabilitation of fixed and floating dock structures, piers, gangways, and waterfront access facilities that state and local governments procure for public recreation, marine operations, coastal protection, and habitat restoration. Recent opportunities show municipalities, counties, state agencies, and special districts soliciting dock work ranging from new construction of ferry terminals and fishing piers to emergency repairs of hurricane-damaged structures and removal of derelict waterfront infrastructure. The City of Long Beach, California; Chatham Area Transit Authority, Georgia; the City of Daytona Beach, Florida; and Broward County, Florida are among repeat buyers, with the City of Long Beach alone posting multiple seawall and dock projects. Recent work types include replacement of damaged piers following hurricanes Helene and Milton (St. Pete Beach, Cocoa, Sarasota), ferry dock and shelter construction with FTA compliance (Savannah), derelict vessel removal and dock demolition (multiple Florida counties), floating dock and gangway installation (Broward County, Deerfield Beach), and tieback and concrete repair on existing waterfront structures (Long Beach). Work spans new construction (Chatham Area Transit Authority's Plant Riverside ferry dock, Brasos River Authority's Lake Limestone loading dock and fishing pier), rehabilitation of existing infrastructure (7th Avenue Fishing Pier repairs, Lido Beach dune restoration with dock access), and emergency demolition (Fisherman's Wharf, Ventura County). Significant qualification gates exist—Long Beach seawall projects require ten-year tieback and marine-construction experience; Daytona Beach pier replacement demands a PE-licensed consultant with ten years of ocean pier design; Broward County dock installation requires 30 percent of work performed by the prime without subcontracting. Labor agreements and prevailing wage apply across California and federal-funded projects; FTA Davis-Bacon wage requirements apply to transit authority work; derelict-vessel removals funded through Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission grants require marine-contractor licensing, Best Management Practices for environmental protection, and marine liability insurance.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Florida and California, with secondary activity in Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Florida shows the densest recent cluster, driven by post-hurricane restoration (St. Pete Beach, Cocoa, Sarasota, Marathon) and ongoing derelict-vessel removal programs across Escambia County and other coastal jurisdictions funded through the FWC Derelict Vessel Removal Grant. Long Beach, California has posted multiple dock and seawall contracts in the past two months under prevailing-wage and Project Labor Agreement constraints. Texas General Land Office has issued multiple coastal construction RFPs (Indian Point Causeway shoreline protection, Laguna Vista spoil-island protection, dry dock removal). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Long Beach R-7292 Marine Stadium Electrical Infrastructure (IFB, due November 18, 2026), Chatham Area Transit Authority Plant Riverside Ferry Dock and Shelter (RFP, due November 6, 2026), the City of Cocoa Waterfront Dock and Breakwater construction (sealed IFB, bid due July 31, 2026), City of Daytona Beach Main Street Fishing Pier replacement consultant services (RFQ, due November 5, 2026), and multiple derelict-vessel removal price quotes from Escambia County Marine Resources Division (RFQ, various 2026 dates). The code shows steady procurement activity—dock rehabilitation and new-construction work is driven by aging infrastructure, hurricane damage, federal restoration funding, public-recreation expansion, and environmental remediation, with strong pipeline visibility through late 2026 and into 2027.
