UNSPSC 20121308: Production tubing overshots

UNSPSC 20121308 Production tubing overshots is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity has been tagged to law enforcement equipment and chemical containment products, diverging significantly from its nominal scope of oil and gas production tubing recovery tools. State and local governments are not currently soliciting production tubing overshots—the work actually being bought under this code designation consists of broader equipment categories that fall outside the tubing-recovery domain. The issuing bodies in the recent record include Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative purchasing unit acting on behalf of multiple Washington counties and public entities across the United States and Canada, and the City of Dallas, a municipal water utility. This narrow recent activity suggests limited genuine procurement activity under the code's intended commodity classification.

The geographic spread of the recent record spans Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) participating in the Sourcewell cooperative framework and Texas (Dallas). Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026, with proposals due June 16, 2026, establishing a statewide and multi-jurisdictional contracting vehicle available to thousands of governmental agencies and public entities. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS) IFSDWUB1700028 on March 18, 2026, for chemical totes and spill containment equipment with a quote due date of March 26, 2026, requiring delivery to its Water/Central Wastewater facility. Neither opportunity reflects the production tubing recovery tools the code nominally describes, indicating a potential mislabeling or data-quality issue in the source records.
