UNSPSC 20122374: Wireline stuffing box

The stuffing box is specifically designed to seal around solid wireline (slickline) to confine wellbore fluids and gases within the surface pressure equipment. This allows wireline operations to be carried out under pressure. The stuffing box can be operated either manually or hydraulically without part modifications.

UNSPSC 20122374 Wireline stuffing box (Commodity) covers specialized telecommunications and utility infrastructure components, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code focuses narrowly on law enforcement equipment procurement frameworks and airport facility installations. State and local governments soliciting under this code span cooperative purchasing vehicles, county transit authorities, and municipal airport operators. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, to establish a cooperative contracting framework for law enforcement equipment across participating counties and public entities in Washington state and beyond. Milwaukee County, through Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport, issued ITB for installation of one tap box unit at Concourse C on April 1, 2026, with a response deadline of April 17, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (wireline stuffing boxes) and the actual work being solicited (law enforcement equipment contracting and airport facility installation) suggests the code sees limited direct activity aligned to its technical definition in recent state and local procurement.

Recent opportunities show concentration in the Upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest. The Sourcewell cooperative procurement encompasses Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington state, with framework availability extended to public entities throughout the United States and Canada. Milwaukee County's airport installation represents the only location-specific solicitation in the recent block. Both opportunities accept cooperative pricing from established state and local purchasing vehicles including GSA, University of Wisconsin, VendorNet, MMAPA, SourceWell, NJPA, Omnia, US Communities, NASPO, and National IPA. Bidders for the Milwaukee airport installation must hold manufacturer authorization to sell and distribute the tap box product, maintain comprehensive commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence) and workers' compensation coverage, and obtain MKE Security ID Badges before on-site work commences.
