UNSPSC 20122846: Stabbing board

A temporary platform erected in the derrick at an elevation of about 20 to 40 feet above the derrick floor. The derrickman or other crew members work on this board while casing is being run in a well. Derived from the term to stab meaning to guide a joint while it is being screwed into another joint or section.

UNSPSC 20122846 Stabbing board is a Commodity-tier code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local contract opportunities. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code—gas extraction and refrigerant recovery services, city-wide civil and site work on a job-order contracting basis, and law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle—do not represent stabbing board procurement. State and local governments appear to use this code infrequently or tag opportunities to it inconsistently; the sourced opportunities reflect environmental compliance services, infrastructure maintenance, and law enforcement supplies rather than stabbing boards or related cutting and food preparation equipment. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent solicitations suggests this code experiences little active demand or consistent categorization discipline in state and local procurement systems.

No recent opportunities in the source represent stabbing board procurement. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat the activity shown here as a data-quality signal rather than a market indicator for stabbing board supply or related services to state and local entities.
