UNSPSC 20142712: Kill skid pump unit

A high-pressure pump is designated for well-kill purposes. Depending on the application, the kill pump may need to be connected to a ready supply of kill fluid should well control be required at short notice. Pump Skids are complete packages that handle applications such as water pumping, process metering, fire suppression or chemical dispensing. Usually constructed with I-beams as a support base, a pumping skid will typically include a motor or engine, pump and the electrical controls necessary to interface with the motor.

UNSPSC 20142712 Kill skid pump unit is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement covers pumping equipment and installation services for emergency response and municipal utility operations. Recent solicitations show this code being applied to deep well submersible and line-shaft pump installation and removal services, as well as to disaster-response equipment packages that include portable power generation and pumping systems. The scope diverges from the code's nominal name — state and local buyers are soliciting integrated pumping equipment, installation labor, and emergency standby capacity rather than discrete "kill skid" units as such. Issuing bodies include municipalities (City of Tucson), counties (Jackson County, Collier County), and specialized divisions within those jurisdictions (Water Department, Emergency Management Division). Jackson County, Missouri and Collier County, Florida both issued recent solicitations that touched this code, though the actual work mix suggests the code serves a broader function across municipal and county operations than the commodity name alone implies.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and upper Midwest. The City of Tucson Water Department issued RFP No. 250034 in February 2026 for deep well pump installation and removal services across Tucson and Pima County, Arizona, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for October 28, 2024, and proposals due November 6, 2024. Collier County, Florida issued RFP No. 25-8416 on February 11, 2026, for Major Incident Standby Services that includes pumping systems ranging from 10 kW to 5 MW capacity, with proposals due March 18, 2026, under FEMA compliance and domestic preference provisions; historical annual spending for those services is approximately $1.2 million. Jackson County, Missouri solicited vehicle maintenance and repair services (Solicitation No. 26040, due July 7, 2026) that appears less directly aligned with the pump equipment scope. The Tucson and Collier County opportunities represent the clearest recent activity under this code, with emergency response and utility infrastructure representing the primary use cases.
