UNSPSC 20121518: Rotating control head

A sealing device used to close off the annular space around the kelly in drilling with pressure at the surface, usually installed above the main blowout preventer.

UNSPSC 20121518 Rotating control head is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The sole recent opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026—solicits law enforcement equipment broadly, not rotating control heads or equipment associated with drilling, well servicing, or directional control systems. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement database or that rotating control heads are sourced as a subordinate line item within broader law enforcement equipment frameworks rather than as a standalone commodity. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting rotating control heads as a primary procurement vehicle at this time.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued the only recent activity under this code on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with numerous jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. The RFP sought to establish contracting solutions available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and nonprofits. Response deadline was June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. No set-asides, award values, or specific rotating control head requirements were identified in available documentation, and the stated scope—law enforcement equipment—does not indicate relevance to rotating control head procurement.
