UNSPSC 20111718: Non-magnetic drill stem substitute

Non-magnetic drill stem substitute have to be manufactured from selected bars of alloy steel, heat-treated to provide the strength and toughness required to carry the entire weight of the drill string or to withstand high torque differentials.

UNSPSC 20111718 Non-magnetic drill stem substitute is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct match to recent state and local solicitations. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—concerns procurement of law enforcement gear and tactical equipment for public agencies across multiple states and Canada, not drill stem materials or oilfield equipment. The code's nominal scope (non-magnetic drill stem components used in wellbore construction) does not align with the actual work being solicited under this code tag in the state and local market.

The Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle was the issuing body, acting on behalf of Participating Entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with other jurisdictions, school districts, higher education institutions, and tribal governments throughout the United States and Canada. The RFP was advertised under Washington state law (RCW 39.34) and sought to establish a master contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies. Vendors were required to submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or specific award values were disclosed in available documentation. This code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement aligned with its actual commodity definition.
