UNSPSC 20121324: Sand control ring

A component used to seal by welding the filter and outside cover of a sand control device.

UNSPSC 20121324 Sand control ring is a Commodity code that state and local governments solicited under in recent opportunities covering equipment procurement and environmental services, though the recent opportunities tagged to this code show a significant mismatch with its nominal scope. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer services for gas extraction from appliances at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, and the North Texas Municipal Water District Maintenance Department issued an ITB for two Lincoln Frontier 400X diesel-driven welder/generators. Neither opportunity involves sand control rings, and the environmental-services and welding-equipment procurements do not align with the code's stated commodity scope.

The geographic spread across recent activity includes Arizona (Tucson) and Texas (North Texas), though the limited number of tagged opportunities and their topical divergence from the code's nominal definition suggest this code sees little relevant state and local procurement activity for sand control rings proper. The City of Tucson opportunity (RFP 240011, response due September 19, 2024) emphasizes EPA certification, technical compliance, and documented gas management; the North Texas Municipal Water District opportunity (ITB 26163B, response due July 29, 2026) specifies single-model equipment procurement. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition, warranting a watch-and-verify approach before committing business development resources.
