UNSPSC 95121624: Lighthouse

A tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light that is used as an aid to navigation for pilots at sea or on inland waterways.

UNSPSC 95121624 Lighthouse is a Commodity code spanning derelict vessel removal, transport, and disposal services that state and local governments procure when waterways accumulate abandoned or grounded vessels requiring extraction, environmental remediation, and landfill tipping. Recent opportunities show municipalities and counties in Florida, Oregon, and Texas pursuing these services on both emergency-response and grant-funded bases, with work including floating, removal of hazardous materials, turbidity control, photo documentation, and compliance with environmental best management practices for sensitive habitats.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county marine resources divisions, city public works departments, and state environmental agencies. Escambia County Marine Resources Division appears as the dominant repeat buyer, issuing multiple price quotes in June and July 2026 for individual derelict vessels (including the 32-foot Catalina, 30-foot Morgan, 27-foot Catalina Sailboat, 30-foot barge, and 35-foot Hunter Sailboat) under the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Derelict Vessel Removal Grant Opportunity. The City of Fort Myers issued RFP26067 in July 2026 for a continuing contract on derelict vessel removal services with disaster-response capability across Lee County and Fort Lauderdale, with proposals due August 18, 2026. The State of Oregon and Texas General Land Office also procured removal and monitoring services. Work is concentrated in Florida, where state grants fund removal of public-nuisance vessels, though activity extends to coastal Texas and Pacific Northwest waterways. Contractors responding to these opportunities must hold marine liability insurance (Protection & Indemnity coverage at $1 million minimum per occurrence/$2 million aggregate), maritime workers compensation, and pollution liability; demonstrate diver certification (PADI, NAUI, or SDI); possess experience with at least two prior similar projects; and comply with strict environmental protocols including daylight-hours-only operations, turbidity barriers, hazardous-material handling, and photographic documentation. Compensation structures vary between unit pricing by vessel size and lump-sum quotes; mobilization fees and emergency response windows (often 24–48 hours) are standard. Grant funding through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission drives much of the current activity, creating predictable procurement cycles tied to annual grant application deadlines.
