UNSPSC 20123303: Drilling spear

Special spear device used in casing while conducting downhole drilling.

UNSPSC 20123303 Drilling spear is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses tactical and specialized equipment for law enforcement and public safety agencies rather than the narrow drilling tool its abstract name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily cooperative purchasing vehicles and their member jurisdictions — counties, municipalities, school districts, and other public entities seeking standardized contracting solutions for law enforcement operational equipment. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, has emerged as a primary aggregator issuing RFPs that establish multi-year framework agreements available to thousands of participating governmental and nonprofit organizations across the United States and Canada. The scope of equipment procured includes items supporting law enforcement field operations, tactical response, and related public safety functions.

Sourcewell's RFP #061626 Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, represents the recent activity under this code. The procurement is structured to serve participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington state, along with numerous other jurisdictions and public entities nationwide. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; questions may be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The resulting contract will establish a cooperative purchasing framework allowing participating entities — government agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments — to procure equipment under standardized terms rather than issue individual solicitations.
