UNSPSC 20121808: Directional drilling stabilizer

A device used to stabilize the drill string during drilling operations especially in directional drilling.

UNSPSC 20121808 Directional drilling stabilizer is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation and gas extraction services rather than drilling equipment. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division has solicited extraction services targeting approximately 50 units per week with a minimum extraction frequency of every two weeks, requiring EPA certification, approved recovery equipment, and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. State and local governments under this code are buying environmental compliance and asset recovery services tied to appliance and product decommissioning, performed by certified technicians.

The code shows limited recent activity. Issuing bodies include municipal environmental divisions and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional needs. The City of Tucson in Arizona represents the primary documented buyer, seeking biweekly gas extraction and documentation services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus under RFP 240011 with a final proposal due date of September 19, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. local time; the initial contract term is one year with potential for up to four one-year renewals. A separate Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) for Law Enforcement Equipment is tagged under this code but represents an unrelated acquisition focused on equipment for law enforcement agencies across multiple Washington state counties and participating entities nationwide, suggesting a classification mismatch rather than activity genuinely within the directional drilling stabilizer commodity scope.
