UNSPSC 20111713: Drilling fingerboard

The working platform approximately halfway up the derrick or mast in which the derrickman stores drillpipe and drill collars in an orderly fashion during trips out of the hole.

UNSPSC 20111713 Drilling fingerboard, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve EPA-certified refrigerant extraction and removal services (City of Tucson) and law enforcement equipment procurement (Sourcewell cooperative), neither of which corresponds to drilling fingerboard products or services. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the underlying procurement systems or that this Commodity code does not currently reflect active state and local purchasing behavior in its intended product category.

The City of Tucson's RFP No. 240011, due September 19, 2024, sought an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks and detailed documentation of gas destruction or recycling. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, seeking to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, and public entities nationwide, with proposals due June 16, 2026. The absence of drilling fingerboard solicitations in the recent opportunity record and the clear mismatch between the code's product name and the work actually being bought suggests this code warrants close attention only if your firm operates in refrigerant recovery, environmental compliance contracting, or law enforcement equipment supply — and even then, the coding may reflect upstream system error rather than a predictable procurement pattern.
