UNSPSC 20143002: Pony rods

UNSPSC 20143002 Pony rods is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The ten most recent opportunities tagged under this code span water well construction, maintenance, rehabilitation, and pump services across multiple jurisdictions, but pony rods—mechanical linkage devices used in pump systems—do not appear as a standalone procurement line item in any of the solicitations reviewed. The code mismatch suggests either miscategorization by issuing bodies or that pony rod procurement, if occurring, is bundled within broader well equipment or pump service contracts rather than solicited as a discrete commodity.

Representative recent opportunities reflect water infrastructure work across Florida, California, Georgia, and Oregon. The City of Bend, Oregon issued RFP 26-3256 for engineering services on River Well #1 renewal (proposals due May 20, 2026), Hillsborough County, Florida posted ITB 26-00234 for water well maintenance and repair services estimated at $688,073.00 (bids due June 12, 2026), and Broward County, Florida solicited ITB OPN2131840B1 for new well column pipes conforming to ASTM A53 specifications (bids due June 23, 2026). The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California issued RFP 3931 for well maintenance and rehabilitation services on an as-needed basis with awards to a minimum of two firms on a five-year term (proposals due April 23, 2026). No current solicitations name pony rods as a required component or list them as a line-item deliverable. Bidders pursuing this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with procuring jurisdictions before submitting, as the code does not appear to reflect active state and local demand.
