UNSPSC 20121811: Directional drilling thruster

Equipment having a small propulsive ability used in directional drilling.

UNSPSC 20121811 Directional drilling thruster is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 — addresses law enforcement gear and equipment acquisition rather than directional drilling thrusters or oil and gas drilling services. This mismatch indicates the code does not reflect active procurement in its intended domain at present.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative vehicle, issued the opportunity on behalf of participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and numerous jurisdictions nationwide and in Canada. The RFP establishes a cooperative contracting framework for law enforcement equipment available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments. Proposals were due through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no budget, set-asides, or incumbent vendor information was disclosed. The absence of drilling-related opportunities under this code suggests that directional drilling thruster procurement, if active at state and local level, is either classified under different codes or follows distinct contracting pathways outside cooperative procurement frameworks currently visible in this dataset.
