UNSPSC 20143009: Polished rod stuffing box

A stuffing box for providing a seal around a polished rod of the beam pump assembly. The stuffing box comprising first, second and third tubular elements, which elements are co-axially arranged around the polished rod.

UNSPSC 20143009 Polished rod stuffing box, a Commodity code, does not align with the scope of recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The limited opportunities surfaced in the dataset reveal work in wastewater aeration systems, well drilling and development, diving services, electrical supplies, water well column pipes, well maintenance and repair, automatic strainer replacement, and municipal well renewal engineering—none of which involve polished rod stuffing boxes or the pumping equipment components the code nominally describes. The code shows no recent, decision-relevant solicitation activity among the municipalities, counties, and water authorities that dominate current postings: Hillsborough County and Broward County in Florida, San Bernardino County in California, the City of Atlanta in Georgia, the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County in Georgia, the City of Bend in Oregon, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative across multiple Texas districts.

The opportunities posted under this code do not represent a coherent procurement category. Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement for Wet Well Wizard aeration systems (due September 22, 2026, $5.371 million over five years) and its separate ITB for water well maintenance and repair services (due June 12, 2026, $688,073 estimated) address wastewater infrastructure and well servicing rather than polished rod assembly components. Broward County's ITB for well column pipes (due June 23, 2026) and San Bernardino County's drilling and well development bid (due October 8, 2026) involve structural components and drilling services, not stuffing box hardware. No current opportunities directly match the product code's nominal scope, suggesting either systematic miscoding of these opportunities or dormant procurement activity under UNSPSC 20143009 among state and local buyers.
