UNSPSC 20143008: Polished rods and coupling

Polished Rods & Couplings are designed to handle the running torque and the entire axial load generated by the rod string weight up to the rotor situated downhole and the hydraulic pressure in operation.

UNSPSC 20143008 Polished rods and coupling is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as components of water and wastewater infrastructure systems—specifically as structural and mechanical parts for wells, lift stations, and related water systems rather than as standalone products. Recent solicitations show governments buying well column pipes with threaded couplings, pump column assemblies for irrigation and potable water systems, and aeration system components for wastewater treatment. The issuing bodies include county departments (Hillsborough County in Florida, Broward County in Florida, San Bernardino County in California), municipal utilities (City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, City of Bend, Oregon), and regional special districts. County water and wastewater agencies dominate the recent activity, often procuring under fixed-price or indefinite-quantity contracts for ongoing maintenance and system expansion.

Recent opportunities span Florida, California, Georgia, and Oregon. Hillsborough County issued ITB 2600234 in May 2026 for water well maintenance and repair services (due June 12, 2026) estimated at $688,073 over two years, encompassing pump and motor replacement, tank service, and well casing repairs across 67 county wells. Broward County issued ITB OPN2131840B1 in June 2026 for new well column pipes conforming to ASTM A53 Grade B Schedule 30 steel in 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-inch diameters with epoxy coating and threaded couplings (due June 23, 2026), under a one-year indefinite-quantity contract renewable for up to four additional years, with SBE and CBE procurement preferences and local-vendor preferences applying. The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County, Georgia issued IFB BID #26042 in May 2026 for removal and replacement of a 16-inch automatic strainer at the North Oconee Water Reclamation Facility (due June 12, 2026), with an estimated budget of $125,000 to $175,000. San Bernardino County Department of Public Works issued an IFB in September 2026 for drilling and developing a non-potable irrigation well at Prado Regional Park (due October 8, 2026), involving casing installation, well screening, and gravel packing work.
