UNSPSC 71120000: Well drilling and construction services

Services provided to drill and construct wells and platforms for onshore and offshore facilities.

UNSPSC 71120000 Well drilling and construction services is a Family code encompassing the full range of drilling, well development, pump installation, and site restoration work that state and local water utilities, environmental agencies, and municipal departments procure to establish, rehabilitate, maintain, and abandon water supply wells, monitoring wells, and orphan oil and gas wells. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying well drilling and casing installation for new water supplies, well pump replacement and rehabilitation, orphan well plugging and remediation under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, monitoring well construction at landfills and water storage facilities, and comprehensive well inspection and video survey services. The mix of issuing bodies spans state environmental departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), municipal water and sewer authorities (Onslow Water & Sewer Authority North Carolina, City of Albany Georgia, City of Groton Connecticut), county and regional water districts (Hilldale Water District Mississippi, Boulder County Colorado Parks and Open Space, Sarasota County Florida), state parks departments (Oregon Parks and Recreation, Texas Parks and Wildlife), and corrections and city facilities departments (Illinois Department of Corrections, City of Austin Parks and Recreation). The code shows particular concentration among prequalified vendor pools established by state environmental agencies for orphan well plugging work funded through federal infrastructure grants, with Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, and other state agencies running rolling RFP and direct-solicitation vehicles targeting these specialized services.

Geographic spread spans the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region (Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin), the South (Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida), the Mountain West (Colorado, Utah), and New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts), with no clear regional concentration but sustained activity across water-dependent and industrial-legacy jurisdictions. Recent representative opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy prequalification award (October 2026) for oil and gas services with five awardees across $800,000 total value; the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board IFB for nine orphaned well plugging projects in Jasper and Jones Counties (bids due December 18, 2026); the City of Albany Georgia sealed-bid solicitation for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (bids due November 16, 2026); the Onslow Water & Sewer Authority North Carolina IFB for Black Creek Well #13 pump and well inspection (bids due November 5, 2026); and the City of DeBary Florida competitive bid for Rob Sullivan Park irrigation improvements—a $90,000 irrigation-system conversion project that, while nominally well-related, represents the code's occasional misalignment with actual municipal procurement where irrigation infrastructure overlaps with drilling-services taxonomy.
