UNSPSC 20121914: Well logging units

UNSPSC 20121914 Well logging units is a Commodity code that in practice covers the drilling, construction, and testing of water supply wells, including bore-hole drilling, casing installation, pumping tests, and water quality analysis. The Maryland Environmental Service's recent IFB for a potable water production well at Camp Fretterd Military Reservation exemplifies the scope: the work involves drilling to specified depths, installing casing, conducting step-drawdown and constant-rate pumping tests, performing laboratory water quality testing, and delivering completion documentation. State and local water utilities and environmental agencies are the primary issuing bodies under this code, though the recent opportunities block shows limited current activity. The work requires contractor-supplied temporary equipment such as pumps and generators, and typically demands Maryland or equivalent state contractor licensure, financial capability demonstration, and compliance with prevailing wage and bonding requirements.

The Maryland Environmental Service's Camp Fretterd IFB (due June 12, 2026) represents the only substantive recent state and local opportunity in the available source material. That procurement carries a 5% MBE subcontract participation goal, a 120-calendar-day performance deadline with liquidated damages of $1,264.00 per day for delay, and prevailing wage applicability if the base bid exceeds $250,000. A mandatory pre-bid conference was scheduled for May 22, 2026, with a site visit on May 26, 2026. A second opportunity in the source—Sourcewell's RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment—is tagged to this UNSPSC code but addresses equipment procurement unrelated to well drilling or logging, indicating a classification mismatch. Activity under this code appears concentrated in Maryland and other states with active water infrastructure programs, though the recent-opportunities block does not support a characterization of broader geographic distribution at this time.
