UNSPSC 20122214: Well testing surface piping

UNSPSC 20122214 Well testing surface piping is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure the design, drilling, construction, testing, and commissioning of potable and non-potable water production wells, including all associated surface piping, pumps, motors, electrical systems, instrumentation, and controls required to integrate new or upgraded wells into existing water distribution infrastructure. The scope spans mobilization and site preparation, bore hole drilling with casing installation, well development and conditioning, comprehensive multi-stage pumping tests (step-drawdown, constant-rate, and recovery testing), water quality laboratory analysis, temporary equipment supply and operation, utility coordination, and restoration to original condition. Issuing bodies include state environmental and water resource agencies (Maryland Environmental Service) and county utility authorities (Collier County), reflecting the jurisdiction patterns typical of municipal water supply capital projects.

Recent activity concentrates in Maryland and Florida. The Maryland Environmental Service issued an IFB in May 2026 (due June 12, 2026) for drilling and testing of a 10-inch production well at Camp Fretterd Military Reservation in Baltimore County, with a 120-calendar-day performance window, a 5% MBE subcontract participation requirement, and prevailing wage applicability above $250,000; mandatory pre-bid and site-visit dates were set for late May 2026. Collier County in Florida posted an IFB in August 2025 (due October 8, 2025) for improvements to two existing wells including pump and motor installation, piping, electrical and control systems, and well conditioning, with an anticipated budget of $2,900,000 plus a $200,000 owner's allowance and substantial-completion performance of 365 calendar days from Notice to Proceed. Both solicitations required bid bonds, performance and payment bonds, E-Verify registration, and compliance with applicable safety and environmental standards.
