UNSPSC 20122216: Well testing downhole tools

UNSPSC 20122216 Well testing downhole tools is a Commodity code that covers well testing, drilling, development, and diagnostic services for potable water production wells, including step-drawdown testing, constant-rate testing, recovery testing, and water quality laboratory analysis. State and local water authorities and environmental service agencies solicit under this code to develop new production wells, upgrade existing well infrastructure, and assess well performance. The work encompasses mobilization, bore hole drilling with casing installation, well development, comprehensive multi-stage pumping tests spanning 10 to 24 hours per stage, and detailed documentation of well productivity and water quality characteristics. Contractors supply temporary equipment including pumps, generators, and testing apparatus, with contract performance typically spanning 120 to 365 calendar days depending on project scope.

The Maryland Environmental Service and Collier County, Florida have posted recent opportunities under this code. The Maryland Environmental Service issued an IFB (Solicitation 1262565) in May 2026 for drilling, construction, and testing of a potable water production well at Camp Fretterd Military Reservation in Baltimore County with a June 12, 2026 response deadline; the procurement includes a 5% MBE set-aside, a mandatory pre-bid conference on May 22, 2026, and a 120-calendar-day performance window with $1,264.00 per diem liquidated damages. Collier County issued an IFB (Bid No. 25-8418) for improvements to two existing production wells (118N and 120N) with an anticipated project budget of $2,900,000.00 and a October 8, 2025 response deadline (later extended); a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was held September 10, 2025, with 365-calendar-day substantial completion required and $1,201 per calendar day liquidated damages for delays. Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Maryland, with both jurisdictions pursuing upgrades to potable water infrastructure driven by operational and compliance requirements.
