UNSPSC 20131308: Oil well standard fine type III cement

UNSPSC 20131308 Oil well standard fine type III cement is a Commodity code that addresses specialized portland cement products used in oil and gas well construction and completion. State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect the nominal scope — the single recent opportunity on file is a cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment issued by Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative), which falls entirely outside the oil and gas drilling supply category. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the state or local procurement notice or minimal current state and local demand for oil well cement as a standalone commodity. State and local governments do not typically procure downhole cementing materials directly; such purchases fall within private-sector oil and gas operations or specialized drilling contractors working under federal mineral leases.

The geographic spread and issuing-body composition cannot be inferred from the recent opportunities, as the single posted solicitation does not align with the code's nominal purpose. The Sourcewell RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026, was structured as a multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicle spanning Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and participating entities nationwide, but it addresses law enforcement equipment procurement, not oil well cement. If oil well cement demand exists within state and local procurement, it would likely emerge through indirect purchasing by state departments managing public lands, or through specialized drilling contracts, rather than as standalone commodity solicitations. Current activity under this code warrants review for accuracy and reclassification.
