UNSPSC 20143501: Subsea running tool

Tool designed to ensure an efficient deployment and a soft landing at the subsea structure, and allow for running with or without the aid of guide-wires. Designed and used to reduce operating times and risk associated with drilling a subsea well.

UNSPSC 20143501 Subsea running tool (Commodity) does not accurately describe the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. Recent opportunities posted under the code span water-system infrastructure work — well drilling, maintenance, replacement, and aeration systems — that bear no meaningful relationship to subsea or deepwater oil-and-gas equipment. The code shows sparse relevant recent activity; the opportunities present reflect a likely tagging mismatch rather than a coherent commodity family within state and local government procurement.

The exceptions underscore the mismatch. Hillsborough County (Florida) issued sole-source procurement for Wet Well Wizard aeration systems and maintenance ($5.371 million over five years, due September 22, 2026, ITB); Broward County issued an open-end indefinite-quantity contract for new well column pipes conforming to ASTM A53 Grade B steel specifications (ITB, June 23, 2026); Hillsborough County issued a two-year water well maintenance and repair services contract ($688,073 estimated value, ITB due June 12, 2026); and San Bernardino County issued a drilling and well-development project at Prado Regional Park with aquifer testing and casing installation (IFB, October 8, 2026). The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management also solicited on-call commercial diving services for wastewater and drinking water infrastructure (IFB, July 24, 2026). Activity clusters in Florida and California, with isolated opportunities in Georgia and Oregon. State and local procurement under this code—where it exists—targets municipal water and wastewater infrastructure maintenance and equipment supply, not subsea tools. Buyers show no pattern of seeking vendors specializing in deepwater or subsea equipment; the code assignment appears administrative or archival rather than reflective of current market demand.
