UNSPSC 20141004: Wellhead gate valves

UNSPSC 20141004 Wellhead gate valves is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code diverge significantly from wellhead equipment: one solicitation from the City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division (EGSD) seeks EPA-certified refrigerant-reclamation services for gas extraction from appliances at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, while a second from Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government cooperative) advertises a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment to participating jurisdictions across Washington, the broader United States, and Canada. Neither procurement involves wellhead gate valves or oil and gas extraction equipment. The refrigerant-extraction work represents environmental compliance and facilities management, while the law enforcement equipment solicitation is a framework agreement for public safety procurement.

The geographic presence reflected in these records spans Arizona (Tucson) and a multi-state cooperative anchored in Minnesota and Washington. The City of Tucson RFP (No. 240011) issued a response deadline of September 19, 2024, seeking EPA-certified contractors for bi-weekly gas extraction and documentation services under an initial one-year term with up to four optional renewals; the Sourcewell RFP (No. 061626) opened June 16, 2026, for a cooperative law enforcement equipment contracting solution. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this wellhead code to unrelated facility and public-safety categories, or the code carries a broader interpretation in practice than its name suggests. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify alignment with actual issuing-body intent rather than relying on the nominal code description.
