UNSPSC 20111712: Wash pipe

A tool-string component used with a burn shoe for washover operations. The wash pipe is a relatively large internal-diameter tubular that can be washed over a fish in preparation for engaging and retrieving the fish.

UNSPSC 20111712 Wash pipe is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The two most recent solicitations—one from the City of Tucson for EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services and one from Sourcewell for law enforcement equipment—fall outside the scope of wash-pipe products and equipment. The code nominally describes a single product line (wash pipe), but the posted opportunities reflect services (gas extraction and removal) and broad-category procurement (law enforcement equipment) that do not correspond to wash-pipe manufacturing, distribution, or supply. This mismatch suggests either tagging error in the source data or minimal actual procurement activity under the code at the state and local level for its intended commodity scope.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 (posted September 30, 2026, with response due September 19, 2024) for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week on a schedule of at least once every two weeks. The contract term is one year with up to four additional one-year renewals, and Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government cooperative) issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (response due June 16, 2026) for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of multiple participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, as well as public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The wash-pipe code shows limited demonstrated relevance to current state and local procurement activity.
