UNSPSC 20123300: Casing while drilling tools

Tools used in casing while drilling operations which can be defined as a process that simultaneously drills and cases a well wherein 1/ the well casing is used for the drillstring; 2/ the casing is rotated as needed to drill; 3/ the casing is cemented in the well at TD.

UNSPSC 20123300 Casing while drilling tools is a Class code with significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; the two posted opportunities do not align with drilling tool procurement. The City of Tucson's RFP 240011 for gas extraction and removal services solicits EPA-certified refrigerant reclaiming work—extracting refrigerants from collected appliances and equipment at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, a municipal sustainability initiative, which falls outside drilling-related equipment. Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment procurement, issued on behalf of Minnesota and Washington state counties and other public entities, addresses equipment for law enforcement agencies and has no connection to drilling or casing tools. Neither opportunity reflects the Class code's intended product category.

The City of Tucson, an Arizona municipality within Pima County, issued the sole substantively relevant recent solicitation under this code—RFP 240011, posted September 30, 2026, with a response deadline of September 19, 2024 (a historical date), structured as a one-year contract with up to four one-year renewal options and requiring EPA certification and documented gas destruction or recycling capability. Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP, due June 16, 2026, represents cooperative purchasing across Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington state plus additional jurisdictions nationwide but carries no relevance to the code's drilling-tool scope. The code exhibits little current activity aligned with its stated purpose.
