UNSPSC 20122108: Perforating bull plugs

UNSPSC 20122108 Perforating bull plugs (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The two opportunities posted in the source describe gas extraction and removal services from refrigerated appliances and law enforcement equipment procurement—neither involving perforating bull plugs or oil and gas well completion tools that the code nominally represents. The mismatch suggests the code carries little relevant recent activity in state and local contracting, or that the opportunities have been tagged incorrectly in the procurement system.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services at its Los Reales Sustainability Campus, requiring extraction from approximately 50 units per week with documentation of gas destruction or recycling and a response deadline of September 19, 2024. Sourcewell, acting as a State of Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP 061626 to establish a master contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and other public entities across multiple states, with proposals due June 16, 2026. Neither solicitation involves the completion, sealing, or perforation equipment the code describes, signaling that firms pursuing perforating bull plugs and related downhole services should monitor traditional oil and gas procurement channels rather than rely on state and local UNSPSC coding as a discovery mechanism.
