UNSPSC 20121812: Directional drilling drill collar

Drill collar with swivel action ability used in directional drilling.

UNSPSC 20121812 Directional drilling drill collar is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify specialized drilling equipment components, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows a substantial mismatch between the nominal scope and actual purchasing. The single recent opportunity identified — Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline — is tagged to this code but seeks law enforcement equipment, not directional drilling components. This suggests either a data classification error in the source system or a use of the code outside its intended scope. The issuing body is Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and cooperative purchasing vehicle, procuring on behalf of multiple jurisdictions including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, plus numerous other governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofits across the United States and Canada. The procurement establishes a master contracting solution available to thousands of participating public entities.

The opportunity does not identify specific dollar values, set-asides, or award terms in available documentation. Responses must be submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. Questions may be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The geographic reach of this cooperative vehicle spans Washington state (identified jurisdictions), Minnesota (Sourcewell's home state), and broader participation across the United States and Canada, making it a multi-state procurement. Given the apparent disconnection between the code's nominal scope and the law enforcement equipment focus of the single identified recent opportunity, this code shows limited clearly relevant activity in the state and local market as currently recorded.
