UNSPSC 20141019: Beam pumping unit

A beam pumping unit is a machine for translating rotary motion from a crankshaft to a linear reciprocating motion for the purpose of transferring mechanical power to a down-hole pump. The purpose, simply stated, of the basic system is to transmit energy from the surface to the downhole pump.

UNSPSC 20141019 Beam pumping unit (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recorded opportunity under this code — Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026 — solicits law enforcement equipment on behalf of a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle encompassing Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and participating entities nationwide. The solicitation's tagging under the beam pumping unit code does not align with the actual scope of work being procured. Beam pumping units — mechanical devices used in oil and gas extraction — fall outside the law enforcement equipment category that the RFP explicitly targets for governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the single available opportunity indicates that this Commodity code does not currently reflect active state and local procurement demand in its intended product category. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is the issuing body for the recorded activity, operating under Washington state cooperative purchasing law (RCW 39.34) and accepting proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. No other recent opportunities, issuing bodies, geographic concentrations, or dollar values appear in the available procurement records for this code.
