UNSPSC 20122820: Land drilling rigs

UNSPSC 20122820 Land drilling rigs (Commodity) covers the furnishing and installation of specialized drilling equipment and related piping systems for subsurface well construction in state and local infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show the code capturing landfill gas extraction well drilling work — the Maryland Environmental Service's June 2026 IFB for the Harford Waste Disposal Center calls for drilling twelve landfill gas extraction wells, six condensate drains, and four caisson wells ranging 19 to 64 feet deep, with 6-inch HDPE SDR17 perforated pipe for extraction and specified wellhead assemblies rated for 0-50 SCFM flow. The issuing bodies under this code are state environmental agencies and waste-management districts managing landfill operations and regulatory compliance. A separate recent opportunity tagged to this code — Sourcewell's May 2026 RFP for law enforcement equipment — shows minimal relevance to drilling-rig procurement and likely reflects misclassification in the source database rather than genuine drilling activity.

The recent activity identified is limited to Maryland, where the Harford Waste Disposal Center drilling project with a June 26, 2026 response deadline represents the primary documented state-local opportunity under the code at this time. The Maryland Environmental Service's landfill gas extraction work requires compliance with MDE permits and OSHA regulations, a 5% MBE participation goal, and performance completion within 100 calendar days at liquidated damages of $980 per day if exceeded. No other recent state or local opportunities are present in the source. The code shows sparse contemporary activity in state and local procurement.
