UNSPSC 20143005: Sucker rod shear coupling

Special type of coupling used to connect sucker rods.

UNSPSC 20143005 Sucker rod shear coupling, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under it. The opportunities posted against this code represent water infrastructure services—diving operations, electrical supplies, well column pipes, well maintenance and repair, automatic strainers, well engineering design, well rehabilitation, lineshaft pump bowl assemblies, water treatment plant well construction, and deep well pump installation—none of which involve sucker rod shear couplings, which are oil and gas drilling components. State and local governments do not appear to be buying sucker rod shear couplings through competitive solicitation; the code shows little relevant recent activity for this commodity line.

The geographic and issuing-body mix in the opportunities block reflects water utility procurement across multiple states and jurisdiction types—municipal water departments (Atlanta, Bend, Tucson, Palm Bay), county water and wastewater services (Broward, Hillsborough, Collier), special districts (Eastern Municipal Water District), and regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7, Texas). The recent activity concentrates in Florida, California, Georgia, and Arizona, with scattered activity in Oregon and Texas. This volume and diversity of water infrastructure buying occurs under codes aligned with water operations and infrastructure services, not oil and gas drilling equipment.
