UNSPSC 20121913: Well logging downhole test equipment

UNSPSC 20121913 Well logging downhole test equipment is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The three most recently posted opportunities under this code involve gas extraction and reclamation services, potable water production well drilling and testing, and law enforcement equipment procurement — none of which represent well logging or downhole testing work as the code's name suggests. State and local governments procuring under this code are sourcing refrigerant reclamation services, water-well construction and pump testing, and law enforcement equipment through cooperative purchasing vehicles, but the code appears to be a poor fit for the actual work being solicited.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for gas extraction and removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week with response due September 19, 2024, with an initial contract term of one year and up to four additional one-year renewals. The Maryland Environmental Service posted an IFB for drilling, construction, and comprehensive testing of a potable water production well at Camp Fretterd Military Reservation in Baltimore County, Maryland, due June 12, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on May 22, 2026 and site visit on May 26, 2026, including a 5 percent MBE set-aside requirement and a 120-calendar-day performance deadline with $1,264.00 per-day liquidated damages. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit, issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and participating entities nationwide, with proposals due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The code shows activity in Arizona, Maryland, and Washington state, but the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests this classification may not reflect current state and local activity in well logging and downhole testing services.
