UNSPSC 20121710: Overshot extension

A fishing tool that is attached to tubing or drill pipe and lowered over the outside wall of pipe or sucker rods lost or stuck in the wellbore.

UNSPSC 20121710 Overshot extension (Commodity) represents law enforcement tactical and protective equipment, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations establishing cooperative purchasing frameworks for gear available to police, sheriff, and other public safety agencies across multiple jurisdictions. State and local governments under this code procure items categorized as overshot extensions—a specialized category within broader law enforcement equipment taxonomies—through cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across counties, cities, schools, and special-purpose districts. The single recent opportunity shows issuance through multi-jurisdictional cooperative structures rather than individual agency RFPs, reflecting the market's reliance on state-level purchasing cooperatives to standardize terms and expand vendor reach across fragmented public-sector buyers.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, seeking law enforcement equipment vendors to establish a contracting solution available to Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and thousands of other governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations throughout the United States and Canada. The procurement is advertised under Washington state law (RCW 39.34) and administered through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no set-aside designations or award values are disclosed in available documentation. The recent-opportunity record is sparse—only one cooperative solicitation appears in the current dataset, suggesting either a quiet market under this specific Commodity code or potential misalignment between the code's technical definition and the equipment actually being procured through cooperative purchasing frameworks. Clarification of the overshot extension scope versus law enforcement equipment broadly would inform whether this code captures meaningful recurring activity or represents an edge case within state and local procurement.
