UNSPSC 71121017: Well water control services

A treatment conducted within a reservoir or perforated interval to reduce water production.

UNSPSC 71121017 Well water control services is a Commodity code covering plugging, abandonment, and site restoration of orphaned or inactive wells across state and local water and energy agencies. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through state environmental and energy departments managing orphaned well remediation programs, county utilities departments handling water supply infrastructure maintenance and repair, and municipal water authorities conducting well rehabilitation and decommissioning. Issuing bodies span environmental protection departments, water utilities, municipal water treatment authorities, county commissions, and independent water districts, with heavy concentration among state departments of environmental quality managing federal grant programs for orphaned well plugging.

Recent activity clusters in Michigan (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy), Florida (Seminole County, Sarasota County, Hillsborough County), Mississippi (state oil and gas board), and Texas, with dispersed activity in California, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Wisconsin. Concrete recent work includes plugging and site restoration of orphaned gas storage wells across Michigan counties—the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy posted four direct solicitations (DS 260000000032, DS 260000000033, DS 260000000034, DS 260000000035) in mid-July 2026 for plugging and site restoration at 38 orphaned gas storage wells operated by New Haven Energy LLC across Gratiot and Montcalm counties, with proposals due July 21, 2026 under RFQ format, restricted to vendors prequalified through prior RFPs and requiring attendance at mandatory pre-bid meetings. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00234 in May 2026 for a two-year water well maintenance and repair contract estimated at $688,073 covering 67 irrigation and potable water wells across multiple parks and recreational facilities. Sarasota County issued an RFQ in July 2026 (solicitation 2026QQ759) for well abandonment at a single residential property with a $50,000 ceiling and a July 10, 2026 response deadline. Mississippi Oil and Gas Board posted multiple invitations for bid on orphaned oil and gas well plugging and remediation funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, with response dates extending through April-May 2026. The code shows sustained activity driven by federal orphaned well remediation funding, state water supply infrastructure renewal, and county utilities maintenance contracts.
