UNSPSC 20121520: Blowout preventer parts and accessories

Parts and accessories for a type of valve installed at the wellhead to prevent the escape of pressure either in the annular space between the casing and drill pipe or in open hole (i.e., hole with no drill pipe) during drilling completion operations.

UNSPSC 20121520 Blowout preventer parts and accessories (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two posted opportunities in the recent block represent different procurement areas: one addresses refrigerant extraction and recovery services (not blowout preventer parts), and the other is a cooperative purchasing vehicle for broad law enforcement equipment (not offshore or well-control equipment). Neither solicitation reflects actual buying under this code's title and technical scope.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 on September 30, 2026, for EPA-certified refrigerant recovery services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with proposals due September 19, 2024, and a one-year initial term with up to four one-year renewals; Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government cooperative) issued RFP No. 061626 on May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating county and municipal entities across multiple states, with proposals due June 16, 2026. The code shows no recent state or local procurement activity for blowout preventer components, well-control systems, or related subsea or drilling equipment that would align with the category's primary definition.
