UNSPSC 20143507: Subsea production system

A subsea production system (Shallow water subsea running equipment) consists of a subsea completed well, subsea Christmas trees and wellhead systems, subsea tie-in to flow line system, jumpers, umbilical and riser system and subsea equipment to operate the well.

UNSPSC 20143507 Subsea production system is a Commodity code that poorly aligns with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally addresses offshore oil and gas equipment; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly involve municipal and regional water utility procurement — drilling, well rehabilitation, pump installation, water treatment infrastructure, and related services. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in state or local procurement systems or a data-tagging artifact. The actual work being solicited under this code comprises municipal water well construction, maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation services; lineshaft and submersible pump installation and removal; well casing and column pipe supply; automatic strainer replacement; diving services for water infrastructure inspection and emergency response; and engineering design for well system improvements across municipal water districts and county water authorities.

State and local buyers posting opportunities tagged to this code include municipal water utilities, county water and wastewater agencies, regional water districts, and city public works or watershed departments. Representatives include the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (commercial diving services, July 2026 IFB); Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California (well maintenance and rehabilitation, April 2026 RFP); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (water well maintenance and repair, $688,073 estimated value, May 2026 ITB); Collier County, Florida (NRO Wells 118N and 120N improvements, $2.9 million, April 2026 ITB); the City of Bend, Oregon (River Well #1 engineering services, ~$525,000, May 2026 RFP); the City of Palm Bay, Florida (production well construction NRO-3 through NRO-6, April 2026 RFP); the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County, Georgia (automatic strainer replacement, May 2026 IFB); and the City of Tucson Water Department (lineshaft pump bowl assemblies and pump installation/removal services). Activity concentrates in Florida (multiple county and municipal water authorities), California (EMWD), Arizona (Tucson), Georgia (Athens-Clarke), and Oregon (Bend), with broader representation across the Southeast and Southwest. Recent solicitations range from $125,000 to $2.9 million in estimated value, with contract terms typically one to five years and many requiring specialized contractor licensing (well drilling, water well contractor certification, commercial diving certification) and compliance with state water management district regulations, AWWA standards, and prevailing wage where applicable.
