UNSPSC 20122800: Drilling and workover rigs and equipment

UNSPSC 20122800 Drilling and workover rigs and equipment is a Class code. State and local governments under this code are procuring specialized drilling and subsurface exploration equipment—specifically self-contained bore rigs capable of soil sampling, foundation testing, monitoring well installation, and rotary drilling applications. The recent opportunities show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope (which references extraction and drilling equipment) and actual state and local buying: one opportunity appears unrelated to drilling work (refrigerant extraction services), one matches the code directly (a drill rig purchase), and one (a cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP through Sourcewell) is entirely outside the drilling equipment category. The relevant activity is limited to single solicitations from state transportation departments and municipal engineering divisions seeking purpose-built drilling equipment rather than a stream of opportunities across many jurisdictions.

The Florida Department of Transportation is the standout recent buyer, issuing a sole-source purchase notice (posted August 27, 2026, due September 18, 2026) to procure one self-contained boring and subsurface exploration drill rig mounted on a Freightliner truck, equipped with hydraulic systems, hollow-stem augers, shelby tube sampling, standard penetration testing, coring, and rotary drilling capability—estimated at $574,195, with performance in Leon County, Florida. The City of Tucson's Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for refrigerant reclaimer services unrelated to drilling, and Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment likewise falls outside the code's scope. Geographic activity centers on Florida and Arizona in the recent record, with no evidence of broader state or regional concentration in drilling rig procurement.
