UNSPSC 20121728: Fishing jar

A mechanical device used downhole to deliver an impact load to another downhole component used in fishing operations

UNSPSC 20121728 Fishing jar is a Commodity code that sees minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, with responses due June 16, 2026—solicits law enforcement equipment on behalf of a multistate cooperative purchasing vehicle, not fishing jars or related marine goods. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is procuring under Washington state law (RCW 39.34) to establish a contracting solution available to thousands of public entities including counties, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code carries no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement markets.

The opportunity identified under this code does not reflect fishing-jar procurement. The law enforcement equipment RFP—administered through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal with submissions to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov—names participating Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) but is designed as a nationwide cooperative framework. No dollar values, set-asides, incumbent vendors, or specific award ceilings are disclosed in the solicitation materials. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for practical state and local bidding purposes; the single recent posting indicates a tagging error rather than active demand for the commodity itself.
