UNSPSC 20122716: Solid expandable casing

Expandable tubular technology is a system for increasing the diameter of the casing or liner of an oil well by up to 30% after it has been run down-hole.

UNSPSC 20122716 Solid expandable casing is a Commodity code showing minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recorded opportunity under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—does not match the code's substance. Solid expandable casing typically refers to downhole tubular products used in oil and gas drilling operations; law enforcement equipment procurement bears no relationship to that product line. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or a state and local procurement office tagging the opportunity incorrectly. No other recent solicitations under this code appear in the available opportunity record.

The Sourcewell RFP is a cooperative purchasing vehicle administered by the State of Minnesota on behalf of participating counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and numerous other public entities throughout the United States and Canada. Sourcewell is issuing the solicitation under Washington state cooperative-purchasing law (RCW 39.34) and intends to establish a contracting solution available to governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities nationwide. The absence of recent, on-scope solicitation activity under this Commodity code signals low or no current demand from state and local buyers for solid expandable casing products. Business development professionals should verify whether state and local opportunities in oil and gas–related procurement are classified elsewhere in UNSPSC or within industry-specific commodity codes before pursuing this code further.
