UNSPSC 20130000: Oil and gas drilling and operation materials

UNSPSC 20130000 Oil and gas drilling and operation materials (Family) shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — drilling fluids, production chemicals, and subsurface extraction materials — does not align with the four recent state and local opportunities posted under it. Three solicitations from the Missouri Department of Transportation Kansas City District procure roadside maintenance services (aggregate materials for surfacing and base construction, mowing along Interstate corridors) that fall outside oil and gas operations; the fourth, from Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington-state counties and other jurisdictions, seeks law enforcement equipment. None of these align with the code's intended commodity scope, suggesting a tagging or taxonomy mismatch at the source.

The three Missouri opportunities represent the only geographically concentrated activity, all issued by MoDOT's Kansas City District between February and July 2026. The aggregate solicitation (Solicitation 300000262403554, due July 31, 2026, IFB basis) calls for approximately 10,050 tons of surfacing and base-course materials and snow-control chips delivered to district maintenance facilities; the two mowing projects (I-49 North and I-29 North, February 2026, both firm fixed-price, low-bid contracts through March 2027 with optional renewals) seek vegetation management across approximately 673 to 887 acres annually per contract. The Sourcewell cooperative RFP (061626, due June 16, 2026) targets law enforcement equipment for participating counties and other public entities across the United States and Canada but contains no scope detail relevant to oil and gas operations. Unless the issuing bodies have systematically miscoded these opportunities, this Family code does not represent an active procurement category for state and local buyers.
