UNSPSC 20131303: Oil well class b type II cement

UNSPSC 20131303 Oil well class B type II cement (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The two opportunities posted in the past four months under this code are unrelated to oil well cementing: the City of Tucson's RFP for EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services and Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment. Neither solicitation involves cement, drilling, or well construction, and the code's nominal scope — specialized cementing products for oil and gas wells — does not match the actual work being bought.

The mismatch suggests that either the opportunities were miscoded at posting or the code does not reflect active state and local procurement demand for class B type II well cement at this time. State and local governments rarely buy oil and gas drilling consumables; such purchases typically occur through private energy sector procurement channels. Firms pursuing this code should verify that recent opportunities are correctly classified before investing in qualification or proposal effort, and consider whether state and local demand for this commodity justifies ongoing market monitoring.
