UNSPSC 71112109: Formation testing sampling services

Services to collect formation-fluid samples.

UNSPSC 71112109 Formation testing sampling services is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity bears no meaningful relationship to the code's nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code—Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements (City of DeBary, Florida, competitive bid) and Armored Car Services (School Board of Polk County, Florida, ITB)—are park irrigation system installation and secure courier services, respectively. Neither involves formation testing or sampling. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or a jurisdictional taxonomy quirk that does not reflect actual procurement demand under this commodity.

State and local governments posting opportunities under UNSPSC 71112109 in the recent record include a municipal parks department and a school district finance operation in Florida, but neither procurement traces to formation testing work. The City of DeBary's irrigation project (bid deadline April 10, 2015, estimated cost $90,000) and Polk County Schools' armored car contract (ITB posted July 21, 2026, due June 22, 2026, estimated annual expenditure $200,000) represent the only posted opportunities; both are geographically concentrated in Florida and operationally unrelated to the code's stated commodity. Firms monitoring this code for formation testing or geological sampling demand should verify their UNSPSC indexing with target jurisdictions directly, as state and local procurement systems do not currently show measurable activity under this code that aligns with its intended scope.
