UNSPSC 71000000: Mining and oil and gas services

Services provided to the mining and oil and gas industries.

UNSPSC 71000000 Mining and oil and gas services, Segment tier, encompasses waste collection, recycling, and environmental remediation work that state and local governments procure under this code, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal relevance to traditional mining or oil and gas extraction. The Orange County Health Care Agency's recent IFB for used oil, oil filter, and bilge pad pickup and recycling (due July 31, 2026) represents the most directly aligned activity under the code, involving collection and disposal services at certified centers and harbor locations across Orange County's Regional Used Oil Recycling Program. Beyond that representative opportunity, the recent opportunities block contains multiple solicitations—including food services, forest fuels reduction, road construction, building inspections, traffic counting, wastewater repairs, and various consulting services—that fall outside any reasonable scope of mining or oil and gas activity and appear to be tagged to this code in error. State and local issuing bodies visible in the opportunities include county health agencies, county probation departments, county departments of public works, state departments of forestry, state colleges, and city municipal departments; Tuolumne County, Connecticut DEEP, Orange County California, and the State of Utah appear multiple times across different service categories, though none of these represent repeated procurement under UNSPSC 71000000's nominal scope.

Geographic activity concentrated in California (Orange County, Tuolumne County, Stanislaus), Connecticut, and Utah in recent months. The single opportunity clearly aligned with the code segment is the Orange County Health Care Agency's IFB 0423057605JB for used oil and bilge pad recycling services (response due July 31, 2026 at 4:00 PM PST), which features a 5% price preference for Orange County Local Small Business or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise certification, with an 8% preference for dual certification. Most other recent opportunities posted under this code—forest restoration, road resurfacing, wastewater treatment, and professional services—lack connection to mining or oil and gas operations. The code shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly relevant to traditional mining or petroleum extraction services; activity under this segment appears sparse or systematically miscoded within state and local procurement systems.
