UNSPSC 20131300: Oil well cement

UNSPSC 20131300 Oil well cement, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The most-recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for oil well cement, drilling mud additives, or other petroleum-sector materials. Instead, the tagged opportunities predominantly solicit ready-mix concrete, concrete repair and placement services, flowable fill, precast concrete units, and related concrete construction materials and labor — work that belongs under concrete and concrete-product codes, not oil well cement.

State and local governments posting under this code are purchasing concrete in diverse forms: ready-mix concrete for street departments, sidewalk replacement, and infrastructure maintenance (City of Greenville, Texas; City of Olathe, Kansas; City of Jackson, Michigan; Charlotte Department of Transportation); concrete repair, spalling remediation, and restoration services for buildings and facilities (City of Ocala, Florida; City of Arlington, Texas; Indian River County, Florida); precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts for utility applications (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Florida — multiple rebirds); and concrete placement for specialized projects such as golf cart paths (City of New Smyrna Beach, Florida), playground surfacing (City of Buda, Texas), and water treatment plant upgrades (City of Lavonia, Georgia). The issuing-body mix spans cities, counties, transit authorities, utility authorities, and school districts across the Southeast, Midwest, and Southwest. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Florida (Ocala, New Smyrna Beach, Kissimmee, Orange County), Texas (Dallas, Arlington, Greenville, Buda, San Angelo, Jackson), Georgia (Lavonia, Clayton County, Stephens County Schools, Rome), and North Carolina (Charlotte Area Transit System, Charlotte Department of Transportation), with additional activity in Arizona (Pinal County), Kansas (Olathe), Michigan (Jackson), and Oregon (Deschutes County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Dallas ITB for the 2026 Bond Residential Sidewalk Replacement Program Region 3A (due November 10, 2026, estimated budget $2.2 million); Cirrus Academy Charter School RFP for concrete basketball court pad construction (due October 15, 2026); City of Olathe IFB for ready-mix concrete furnishing and delivery on an as-needed basis (bids due August 21, 2026); and Kissimmee Utility Authority rebid for precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts (bids due August 11, 2026). The code shows active recent procurement volume but a material mismatch between its nominal commodity definition and the concrete-centric work actually being solicited.
