UNSPSC 20122714: Well tubing and accessories

A device made up of pipes that is lowered into a borehole for the extraction of liquid and gaseous minerals. Tubing strings consisting of separate tubing joints screwed together are used for the exploitation of petroleum and gas deposits. The tubing string is suspended at the wellhead by means of a casing head. There is usually one tubing string of constant or variable diameter in a well; multiple wells have two or more parallel tubing strings for simultaneous or separate production from two or more pay zones through the same well.

UNSPSC 20122714 Well tubing and accessories is a Commodity code that covers equipment and components for extracting, processing, and managing gases from industrial and municipal applications. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show actual procurement focused on refrigerant recovery and extraction services rather than tubing hardware — the City of Tucson's RFP 240011 (posted September 30, 2026, due September 19, 2024) sought EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers to extract refrigerants from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. A second opportunity, Sourcewell RFP 061626 (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026), is tagged to this code but seeks law enforcement equipment through a multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicle and does not appear to involve well tubing or gas extraction — this represents a mismatch between the code assignment and the work being bought. Issuing bodies include municipal environmental divisions and state-authorized purchasing cooperatives serving county governments, cities, school districts, and higher education institutions across multiple states.

The code shows limited recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. Geographic presence is concentrated in Arizona (City of Tucson, Pima County) and the Pacific Northwest and Minnesota regions through Sourcewell's cooperative framework. Aside from Tucson's refrigerant extraction RFP, which specifies an initial one-year contract term with up to four one-year renewals and includes hourly labor rates for general operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday service, the code reports no other recent opportunities with clear relevance to well tubing, gas extraction infrastructure, or associated accessories. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent solicitations suggests the code sees minimal active procurement in the state and local sector, or that issuing bodies frequently misclassify opportunities posted under it.
