UNSPSC 20143003: Continuous sucker rod

Finishing rod used to remove fluid from wellbore in artificial lift system. Also known as a special steel pumping rod.

UNSPSC 20143003 Continuous sucker rod is a Commodity code that covers tubular equipment and components used in water and wastewater infrastructure operations, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows limited direct alignment with the nominal product category. The opportunities posted between April and September 2026 describe water well maintenance, repair, and drilling services; aeration system installation; strainer replacement; and electrical supplies — none of which involve sucker rods as typically understood in industrial drilling or pumping applications. The issuing bodies include county water authorities (Hillsborough County and Broward County in Florida), municipal water departments (City of Bend, Oregon; Athens-Clarke County, Georgia; City of Atlanta), and a regional purchasing cooperative, suggesting that when the code does appear in state and local procurement, it reflects equipment procurement for municipal water and wastewater operations rather than oil or gas extraction.

The geographic concentration of recent activity centers on Florida (Hillsborough County, Broward County) and the Southeast and Pacific Northwest (Georgia, Oregon), with isolated cooperative purchasing activity in Texas. Hillsborough County appears twice in the recent posting window — for a $5.371 million five-year sole-source procurement of Wet Well Wizard aeration systems (ITB SS2600397, due September 22, 2026) and a $688,073 two-year water well maintenance and repair services contract (ITB ITB2600234, due June 12, 2026). Broward County solicited a new well column pipes open-end indefinite-quantity contract under ITB OPN2131840B1 (due June 23, 2026), specifying ASTM A53 Grade B Schedule 30 steel pipes in 6, 8, 10, and 12-inch diameters with epoxy coating. The San Bernardino County Department of Public Works posted an IFB for drilling and developing an irrigation well at Prado Regional Park (SPD127SPDAD6517, due October 8, 2026). No opportunities in the source directly reference sucker rods; the code shows limited recent relevance to active state and local procurement.
