UNSPSC 71121010: Plug cement services

Plug cement services.

UNSPSC 71121010 Plug cement services is a Commodity code covering well abandonment and orphan well plugging work that state and local governments procure to address environmental remediation, infrastructure maintenance, and regulatory compliance. Recent opportunities show state and local agencies soliciting comprehensive well-plugging services including site preparation, mechanical and chemical well rehabilitation, cementing, waste disposal, and site restoration—work typically bundled with drilling, equipment rental, and regulatory permitting rather than cement services alone.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Texas General Land Office; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; Illinois Department of Natural Resources), counties (Gratiot and Montcalm counties in Michigan; Marion and Sarasota counties in Florida; Seminole County in Florida), cities (Pascagoula, Mississippi; Lubbock, Texas; Bend, Oregon; Pendleton, Oregon), water districts (Eastern Municipal Water District in California; Hillsborough County in Florida), and special authorities (McIntosh County Industrial Development Authority in Georgia). Recent activity concentrates heavily in Michigan, with four concurrent direct solicitations by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy for plugging thirty-eight orphan gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties—all due July 21, 2026, and all restricted to vendors prequalified through prior RFPs. The code also shows activity across Florida (Sarasota County well abandonment, Seminole County wastewater pump stations, Marion County potable wells, Hillsborough County water well maintenance), Mississippi (orphaned oil and gas wells), Texas (well maintenance), and other states. The geographic spread extends across the Upper Midwest, South, and Southwest, with Michigan and Florida representing the heaviest recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy soliciting plugging of three orphan wells in Gratiot County (DS7612600000000322, direct solicitation, due July 21, 2026); the same agency soliciting plugging of fourteen wells in Section 4, Gratiot County (DS7612600000000332, due July 21, 2026); Sarasota County requesting well abandonment at a single residential property (RFQ 2026QQ759, due July 10, 2026); and the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board soliciting plugging and reclamation of seven orphaned wells statewide (IFB 3160007967, due May 11, 2026). All Michigan opportunities carry Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, mandatory pre-bid meetings, and restrict bidding to prequalified contractors, signaling mature procurement with significant federal or state funding.
