UNSPSC 20122006: Test plugs

UNSPSC 20122006 Test plugs (Commodity) covers equipment and components used to seal, inspect, or condition water wells and similar infrastructure during construction, maintenance, or testing operations. State and local water utilities and county public works departments solicit test plugs and related well-conditioning equipment as part of broader water infrastructure projects that include pump installation, piping, electrical systems, and instrumentation integration. The work falls within larger capital improvement initiatives managed by county water authorities and municipal water systems seeking to upgrade aging well infrastructure or bring new production capacity online.

Collier County, Florida, posted a recent IFB (Bid No. 25-8418) in August 2025 for improvements to NRO Wells 118N and 120N, a $2.9 million project with a $200,000 owner's allowance that includes well conditioning services alongside pump, motor, piping, electrical, and instrumentation installation. The project requires substantial completion within 365 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for September 10, 2025, and sealed bids due October 8, 2025. Bidders must register on Collier County's procurement portal, provide a 5% bid bond, performance and payment bonds, proof of $1 million commercial general liability coverage, and comply with E-Verify and immigration requirements. The solicitation emphasizes OSHA, DOT, and EPA compliance with detailed site-specific safety plans. Recent activity under this code shows limited volume — the Collier County well improvement project is the primary documented opportunity — suggesting that test plugs and well-conditioning equipment are typically sourced as subcomponents within larger water infrastructure contracts rather than as standalone procurements.
