UNSPSC 71121000: Cement pumping services

Services to pump cement into the wellbore.

UNSPSC 71121000 Cement pumping services, a Class code, encompasses concrete placement and material delivery work that state and local governments buy under well plugging, water infrastructure rehabilitation, and site restoration projects. Recent state and local solicitations show cement pumping services embedded in larger drilling and well abandonment work rather than procured as standalone services; the code appears primarily relevant to the cementing operations component of orphan well plugging, water well rehabilitation, aquifer testing, and landfill gas system construction where specialized cement placement below ground is required. Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy and Mississippi's Oil and Gas Board dominate recent activity, issuing multiple coordinated orphan well plugging solicitations that name cementing as a line-item service within comprehensive drilling and site restoration scopes; water and wastewater utilities in Florida, California, Oregon, and other states periodically procure well construction and rehabilitation work that includes cement grouting and well sealing. County governments, municipalities, state environmental and natural resources agencies, and special-purpose water districts are the primary issuing bodies, with orphan well remediation programs representing the largest concentration of recent activity.

Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy posted four coordinated direct solicitations in mid-July 2026 (DS 260000000032 through 260000000035) for plugging and site restoration of 38 orphan gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties, with proposals due July 21, 2026; each solicitation requires unit pricing for 68 line items including cementing services, with Davis-Bacon prevailing wages ($39.57–$41.28 per hour plus $25.00–$40.00 fringe depending on classification) and best-value selection based on key personnel, equipment list, technical experience, and vendor qualifications. Mississippi's Oil and Gas Board issued at least four separate Invitations for Bids for orphan well plugging across multiple Mississippi counties through April–May 2026 (IFB RFx Nos. 3160007881, 3160007966, and 3160007967), each naming plugging, remediation, and site reclamation services with federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding and Davis-Bacon Act compliance. Geographic activity concentrates in Michigan (Gratiot and Montcalm counties), Mississippi (Adams, Clarke, Hinds, Jefferson Davis, Issaquena, Madison, Marion, and Yazoo counties), and Florida (Seminole, Sarasota, Hillsborough, Marion, Brevard, Collier, and Volusia counties), with secondary activity in Texas, California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Illinois. The code sees modest recent activity overall; cement pumping as a standalone or primary procurement line is uncommon, though cementing operations remain a required component of virtually all well construction, abandonment, and rehabilitation work state and local agencies execute.
