UNSPSC 20121711: Fishing sub

Short length of pipe used in oilwell fishing operations.

UNSPSC 20121711 Fishing sub is a Commodity code for underwater craft and submersible vessels; however, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect fishing or marine operations. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 seeking law enforcement equipment vendors to supply a multi-jurisdiction contracting framework. The scope mismatch is stark — the solicitation explicitly targets law enforcement agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada, with no reference to fishing vessels or marine equipment. The cooperative's participating entities include Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, plus numerous additional jurisdictions. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The May 12, 2026 Sourcewell RFP (response deadline June 16, 2026) is the only recent state and local opportunity tagged under this Commodity code, and it solicits law enforcement equipment rather than fishing submarines or related marine craft. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Washington state and the broader Sourcewell service area covering multiple U.S. states and Canada, but the procurement's actual subject matter — law enforcement equipment — falls outside the code's intended taxonomy. No award value, set-aside designations, or technology requirements are detailed in available solicitation materials. Vendors interested in this particular law enforcement equipment opportunity should access the full RFP through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov; questions may be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
