UNSPSC 20110000: Well drilling and operation equipment

All temporary structures, devices, and facilities necessary and incidental to the drilling or completion of a well.

UNSPSC 20110000 Well drilling and operation equipment is a Family code that encompasses the procurement of drilling rigs, pumps, compressors, and associated wellhead and support systems used by state and local water utilities, environmental agencies, and public works departments to develop, maintain, and operate potable water, irrigation, and wastewater wells. State and local buyers use this code to source new drilling equipment and perform well construction, testing, and rehabilitation work through both equipment purchases and capital project contracts. Issuing bodies span water utilities (city and county water departments, special-purpose water and sewer districts), public works departments, environmental service agencies, and regional authorities. Recent solicitations show a mix of direct equipment procurement (new drilling rigs, lifts, and specialized machinery) and comprehensive well development services including drilling, casing, testing, and long-term maintenance. Water utilities and districts appear as repeat buyers, particularly for well rehabilitation and new production well construction tied to capacity expansion and replacement cycles.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Florida, California, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Utah. Representative opportunities include the Town of Fairhaven Board of Public Works issuing an IFB for cleaning and redevelopment of Municipal Gravel Packed Well #1 using conventional chemical additive cleaning, due September 24, 2026; the Neola Water & Sewer District in Utah requesting Statements of Qualifications for a two-phase groundwater development project including test well drilling and new production well construction, with submissions due May 29, 2026; the Maryland Environmental Service issuing a competitive sealed IFB for drilling, construction, and testing of a new potable water production well at Camp Fretterd Military Reservation with a 5% MBE set-aside, bids due June 12, 2026; and Orange County Public Works in California procuring drilling and construction of a new groundwater irrigation well at Mile Square Regional Park with an estimated value of $1,827,631, bids due January 4, 2024 (pre-qualified bidders only). A well maintenance and repair services contract from Hillsborough County, Florida (ITB-26-00234, estimated $688,073 over two years, due June 12, 2026) covers pump replacement, tank work, wiring inspection, filtration system repairs, and emergency response on 67 wells across county parks.
