UNSPSC 20111709: Well drilling tool or accessory kits

UNSPSC 20111709 Well drilling tool or accessory kits is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses drilling equipment, cathodic protection system components, and water-well construction services rather than discrete tool kits alone. State and local buyers under this code include water resource agencies, environmental service organizations, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. The California Department of Water Resources and Maryland Environmental Service have recently posted opportunities for cathodic protection services and potable water production well drilling, respectively, indicating that the code captures full-scope drilling and related infrastructure work performed by licensed contractors.

Activity is geographically concentrated in California and Maryland, with recent solicitations from the California Department of Water Resources (IFB #10215192 for cathodic protection testing, installation, and monitoring across five State Water Project facility locations, due June 16, 2026) and the Maryland Environmental Service (IFB 1262565 for drilling, construction, and testing of a potable water production well at Camp Fretterd Military Reservation in Baltimore County, due June 12, 2026). A third recent posting from Sourcewell — a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle — was tagged under this code but concerns law enforcement equipment and does not align with the code's nominal scope. Bidders for the California work must hold California Class A, C-10, and C-57licenses and demonstrate five years of cathodic protection experience; the Maryland well-drilling opportunity requires Maryland contractor licensure and mandates a 5% Minority Business Enterprise subcontract participation goal. Both opportunities carry mandatory pre-bid conferences and site visits in May 2026.
