Buoys
FSC 2050: Buoys
Federal Supply Class (FSC) 2050 covers navigational and mooring buoys used by the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Army Corps of Engineers. Items are procured to MIL-SPEC and USCG standards for reliability in open-water deployment.
Buoys mark channels and hazards and provide anchorage points for vessels. They are essential to safe maritime navigation and fleet mooring.
Common types include navigational buoys, harbor buoys, channel markers, and mooring buoys. Hulls and floats are built from steel, foam-filled composites, and corrosion-resistant materials for long-term water exposure.
