UNSPSC 20123102: Casing exit whipstock

A casing exit (window cutting) tool consisting of an elongated cylindrical wedge-shaped member having an inclined concave deflection surface that guides the angle of the rotary cutting tool progressively outward to cut the exit.

UNSPSC 20123102 Casing exit whipstock is a Commodity code that represents specialized wellbore equipment used in oil and gas drilling operations, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect actual purchases of whipstocks or drilling-specific materials. Instead, the single recent opportunity tagged to this code is a cooperative RFP issued by Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit, on behalf of participating entities across Washington state and beyond, seeking law enforcement equipment — a category wholly unrelated to the code's nominal scope. This mismatch indicates that either the code has been applied in error during the opportunity's initial classification, or the code sees no substantive state and local procurement activity aligned with its defined product line.

The opportunity in question—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—is a multi-jurisdiction cooperative purchasing vehicle intended to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K–12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada, with named participating counties in Washington including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima. Given the absence of other recent opportunities under this Commodity code and the clear disconnect between law enforcement equipment procurement and wellbore drilling supplies, state and local government entities do not appear to be actively procuring casing exit whipstocks through formal solicitations at this time, making the code inactive as a practical signal for business development in the state and local procurement space.
