UNSPSC 71121002: Oilfield cement lab testing services

UNSPSC 71121002 Oilfield cement lab testing services, a Commodity code, does not align with actual state and local procurement activity captured under this code. The recent-opportunities dataset shows no contracts tagged with 71121002 that involve oilfield cement testing labs; instead, the code's assigned opportunities span water infrastructure work including well drilling, pump installation, irrigation system upgrades, wastewater pump station maintenance, and orphan oil and gas well plugging—none of which fall within oilfield cement laboratory testing scope. State and local governments are procuring well construction and rehabilitation services, pump and motor replacement, electrical and control systems, site restoration, and related infrastructure work, but the abstract code definition does not match the field activity the opportunities represent.

The recent activity is dominated by orphan well plugging and water supply well construction across Michigan, Mississippi, and Florida, with solicitations issued by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (multiple direct solicitations for gas storage well abandonment), the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board (IFB for orphaned well remediation and plugging), and municipal water utilities in cities including Pascagoula, Reynolds, Wrens, and Albany (well drilling, pump installation, and system replacement via ITB and RFQ). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Michigan and Mississippi, with secondary activity in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Colorado, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Michigan EGLE's 14-well orphan well plugging solicitation in Gratiot County (DS 260000000033, direct solicitation with proposals due July 21, 2026), the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's nine-well plugging project in Jasper and Jones Counties (IFB 3160008162, bids due December 18, 2026), and the City of Albany's Well No. 21 rehabilitation bid (PE64750NONST2027000000232, sealed bids due November 16, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity and warrants recategorization or closer review of tagging accuracy by the issuing procurement offices.
