UNSPSC 20111716: Pressure testing tool

Pressure transient testing provides information about individual well performance, wellbore damage, reservoir pressure, and reservoir fluid flow capacity.

UNSPSC 20111716 Pressure testing tool is a Commodity code that describes equipment and services for testing pressure systems, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly aligned with this code's nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code span unrelated categories: gas extraction and refrigerant recovery services, water infrastructure rehabilitation, and law enforcement equipment procurement. The City of Tucson's RFP for EPA-certified refrigerant extraction at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus is the closest match to pressure system work, requiring extraction from approximately 50 units per week with documentation of gas recovery or destruction. The Maryland Environmental Service competitive sealed bid for Charlotte Hall Veterans Home water treatment infrastructure and the Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment appear to be miscoded under this Commodity designation. Issuing bodies include municipalities (City of Tucson), state environmental agencies (Maryland Environmental Service), and state-based cooperatives (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple counties and jurisdictions).

Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona and Maryland, with the Sourcewell cooperative spanning multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions through its participating entities framework. The City of Tucson solicitation (RFP 240011, response due September 19, 2024) represents the only substantive pressure or gas-extraction work; the contract offers a one-year initial term with up to four one-year renewals and includes a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024. The Maryland Environmental Service bid (1262525, due July 31, 2026) covers elevated water storage tank rehabilitation and replacement well pumps but is not pressure-testing in nature. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that pressure testing tool procurement is not currently a primary driver of state and local contracting activity under this code classification.
