UNSPSC 71131024: High pressure fracturing pumping service

Frac pumps are diesel-engine-powered fracturing equipment used in hydraulic fracturing of shale rock formations to extract the trapped oil and gas. Frac pumps that can pump fracking fluid down the wellbore (water, silica sand, and fracking chemicals) are in high demand.

UNSPSC 71131024 High pressure fracturing pumping service is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity does not map cleanly to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Pinellas County Utilities' ITQ 26-0647, due June 30, 2026—solicits mixer parts and accessories for water utility operations, not hydraulic fracturing or pressure-pumping services. The mismatch suggests either a data-coding error in the state and local procurement system or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how the issuing body classified the buy. Without additional recent opportunities under the code, a concrete profile of what state and local governments are actually procuring under 71131024 cannot be established from the available record.

The Pinellas County Utilities solicitation indicates the work is confined to Florida—specifically Pinellas County and Clewiston City—and references an existing blanket purchase agreement (BPA 457764 under prior ITB 22-0279), suggesting this may be a renewal or continuation of an earlier award. The compressed six-day proposal window and inclusion of a Non-Competitive Oversight Committee Justification Form point to a limited-competition or sole-source posture, though the justification rationale is not provided in extractable form. No estimated contract value, contract term, incumbent name, or evaluation criteria are specified. The code shows insufficient recent relevant activity to support a pursue decision at this time.
