UNSPSC 20121436: Plunger lift system parts and accessories

Component parts of a system that unloads gas wells and high gas/liquid ratio oil wells without interrupting production. These include a plunger that travels to the bottom of the well where the fluid is picked up and, acting as a swab, is brought to the surface removing all liquids in the tubing. The system uses the well's own energy requiring no additional power expense.

UNSPSC 20121436 Plunger lift system parts and accessories is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code are procuring specialized lifting equipment and related components, though recent solicitations show activity concentrated heavily in electric scissor lifts rather than traditional plunger systems. Milwaukee County Mitchell International Airport posted two re-bid solicitations in February 2026 for electric micro slim slab scissor lifts (26-foot and 32-foot models), each a single-unit procurement with specifications for performance-based requirements including 550-pound platform capacity, electric front-wheel drive, zero-turn radius capability, maintenance-free AGM battery systems, comprehensive safety features, and delivery FOB destination within 30 calendar days. The issuing bodies are primarily counties and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing organizations. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 in May 2026 to establish a cooperative contracting framework for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada; this represents a coordinated procurement vehicle intended to serve participating entities through Sourcewell's framework agreement structure rather than a single-jurisdiction purchase.

Recent activity centers in Wisconsin and Minnesota, with the Sourcewell cooperative vehicle spanning multiple states. Milwaukee County's two re-bid solicitations (due February 25 and February 26, 2026) for equipment at Mitchell International Airport represent the most concrete recent work—both single-line item procurements requiring new equipment with one-year warranties on defective components and five-year warranties on structural components, FOB destination pricing, and DBE compliance under Milwaukee County Code Chapter 42. Bidders are encouraged to leverage existing governmental contracting vehicles including GSA, University of Wisconsin, VendorNet, MMCAP, SourceWell, NJPA, Omnia, US Communities, NASPO, and National IPA pricing to reduce costs. No pre-bid meetings were held for either Milwaukee County solicitation. The Sourcewell RFP (#061626) operates under Washington state cooperative purchasing law and closed June 16, 2026, with vendor questions submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal and contact directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
