UNSPSC 20121502: Blowout preventer controls

UNSPSC 20121502 Blowout preventer controls is a Commodity code showing minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—solicits law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple participating entities across Washington state and beyond. The scope covers equipment for thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. However, the actual procurement focuses on general law enforcement equipment rather than blowout preventer controls, which are drilling and well-control devices typical of oil and gas operations. This mismatch suggests the code has been incorrectly applied to the opportunity or the code sees little authentic state and local procurement activity in its intended scope.

The Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle, a Minnesota local government unit, is administering the procurement under Washington state law (RCW 39.34) and includes participating jurisdictions in Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties, with participation available to public entities throughout the United States and Canada. Vendors must submit through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no set-aside designations, specific dollar values, or award targets are disclosed in available documentation. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the law enforcement equipment solicitation indicates this Commodity code warrants close attention only if your firm supplies drilling or well-control equipment to state and local water, mining, or infrastructure agencies—otherwise, no active pipeline supports pursuit under this code.
