UNSPSC 20142408: Subsea wellhead guide-line

Guideline protects sealing surface on high pressure subsea wellheads, BOP stacks and horizontal subsea trees during open-water work. The Guide facilitates wellhead tools entering the wellhead.

UNSPSC 20142408 Subsea wellhead guide-line is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity under the code's nominal scope. The two recent opportunities posted under this code involve gas extraction and refrigerant recovery services and law enforcement equipment — neither relates to subsea wellhead operations or the marine oil and gas infrastructure the code name suggests. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 for EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer services to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks and detailed documentation of gas destruction or recycling. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP No. 061626 for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's subsea wellhead designation and the actual work being solicited signals that this code is either rarely used by state and local buyers or is being misapplied in procurement systems.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Tucson in Pima County) and a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle anchored in Minnesota and Washington. Both opportunities posted in 2026 and represent isolated instances rather than recurring procurement patterns. Participation in Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment cooperative spans Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, alongside numerous other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. The Tucson gas extraction RFP closed on September 19, 2024, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, and includes a one-year initial term with up to four one-year renewals. The Sourcewell RFP required submission by June 16, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Neither solicitation explicitly identified set-aside designations, though the Tucson contract referenced Federal Transit Administration terms typically including disadvantaged business enterprise provisions. Business development professionals should verify whether this UNSPSC code applies to their service offerings or whether a different code better describes their actual products or services.
