UNSPSC 95122505: Marine transfer station

Marine structure for temporary collection and storage of waste

UNSPSC 95122505 Marine transfer station is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure for derelict vessel removal, transport, and disposal services supporting waterway management, environmental cleanup, and coastal resilience initiatives. Recent solicitations reflect a concentrated focus on derelict vessel recovery across Florida coastal counties and specialized marine construction work including boat launch repairs, seawall stabilization, and navigation aid installation. The City of Fort Myers, Escambia County Marine Resources Division, and the City of West Sacramento have posted multiple opportunities for floating, removal, and transport of grounded and abandoned vessels ranging from 27 to 35 feet in length, each requiring comprehensive environmental compliance including turbidity barriers, hazardous material removal, and photo documentation. Bidders consistently face requirements for Protection & Indemnity marine liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence, Maritime Workers Compensation, and Marine Pollution Liability insurance, reflecting the technical and regulatory complexity of work at this tier. The mix of issuing bodies includes county marine resources divisions (Escambia County), municipal parks and recreation departments (City of Fort Myers, Chatham County Parks & Recreation, City of Sarasota), state agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas General Land Office, State of Oregon), and specialized water authorities (Brazos River Authority in Texas).

Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida, where Escambia County, the City of Fort Myers, Broward County, Monroe County, and multiple Sarasota County departments have posted derelict vessel removal solicitations as part of state grant programs administered through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Texas shows secondary activity through the Texas General Land Office and coastal authorities pursuing dry dock removal and spoil island restoration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Fort Myers RFP26067 (Derelict Vessel Removal Service Continuing Contract, due August 18, 2026) requesting proposals for vessel removal across Lee County and Fort Lauderdale under a five-year continuing contract with forty-eight-hour emergency mobilization and unit pricing by vessel length; Escambia County Invitation to Quote WM2638 and WM2639 (Derelict Vessel Removal, Transport and Disposal for a 32-foot Catalina and 30-foot Morgan, due July 20, 2026) requiring floating, removal, and transport to Perdido Landfill with work completion within fourteen days; and the City of West Sacramento ITB25065 (Public Boat Dock—Debris Deflector Repair, due July 10, 2025) for removal and reinstallation of a 235-foot submerged debris deflector on the Sacramento River. Work is consistently issued as RFQ, ITQ, or RFP notice types with tight turnaround windows of two to six weeks between posting and response deadlines, reflecting the time-sensitive nature of environmental cleanup and emergency response work under federal disaster-mitigation grant programs.
