UNSPSC 71112107: Directional survey services

Measurements while drilling used to update the map and reduce the risk of collision with existing wells.

UNSPSC 71112107 Directional survey services is a Commodity code that encompasses surveying work related to infrastructure location, alignment, and positioning — including subsurface extraction systems, utility networks, and facility layouts. Based on recent state and local opportunities, the code captures survey services supporting landfill gas collection systems, water reclamation infrastructure, irrigation systems, and similar utility-scale projects where precise positioning of wells, piping, and conveyance lines is critical to design and construction. Issuing bodies under this code include special-purpose districts (solid waste authorities, water reclamation districts) and municipalities (cities) procuring infrastructure expansion and improvement work. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority in Georgia and the Eastern Municipal Water District in California represent the standout recent buyers, both issuing opportunities that require surveying as a component of larger Design-Build or turnkey construction procurements.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and California. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority issued an ITB on April 17, 2026 (response deadline May 21, 2026) for a landfill gas collection and control system expansion that includes surveying of gas extraction well locations as part of a comprehensive construction package; the work requires Georgia-licensed General Contractors with five years' minimum landfill gas system experience and a mandatory pre-proposal conference on May 1, 2026. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California issued an RFP on February 24, 2026 (response deadline April 13, 2026) for a long-term Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate-Maintain digester gas utilization project across three regional water reclamation facilities, with mandatory pre-proposal meeting on March 9, 2026 and mandatory site tours March 18–19, 2026. These large-scale infrastructure procurements embed surveying and positioning work within broader capital projects rather than as standalone survey contracts, reflecting how state and local buyers typically acquire directional survey services in tandem with design, construction, or equipment installation.
