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 that encompasses drilling, installation, repair, rehabilitation, abandonment, and maintenance of water wells serving municipal, county, agricultural, and recreational facilities. State and local governments procure this code for infrastructure projects ranging from new water supply well construction with pump and chemical feed systems to orphan well plugging under federal environmental remediation programs, monitoring well installation at landfills, stock water wells on agricultural leases, and routine maintenance and emergency repair of existing well systems at parks and water treatment facilities.

Issuing bodies span state environmental and natural resources agencies, municipal water departments, counties, special districts, and state parks systems. Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board are active repeat buyers, each managing multiple orphan well remediation projects under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding. Cities of Pascagoula and Reynolds (Mississippi and Georgia), Lubbock (Texas), Wrens (Georgia), Albany (Georgia), and Austin Parks (Texas) have posted well construction and rehabilitation solicitations. Counties include Hillsborough, Sarasota, and Seminole (Florida); Gwinnett (Georgia); Escambia (Florida); and Boulder (Colorado). The Illinois Department of Corrections, Department of Natural Resources, and water management districts and recreation authorities round out the issuing-body mix. Recent activity clusters in the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, Mississippi) and Midwest (Michigan, Illinois), with secondary activity in Texas, Colorado, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Albany, Georgia's sealed bid for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (RFQ, due November 16, 2026); Mississippi Oil and Gas Board plugging of nine orphaned wells across Jasper and Jones Counties (IFB, due December 18, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid October 22); Hillsborough County's water well maintenance and repair services for 67 wells across Florida parks (ITB, closed June 12, 2026 at $688,073 estimated value); EGLE's prequalified-vendor-only RFQs for individual orphan well packages in Michigan (e.g., Gilbert Orphan Well, Kent County, proposals due October 12, 2026); and Seminole County's master service agreement for wastewater pump station repair and equipment renewal (IFB, closed June 17, 2026). Federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, State Revolving Funds, and USDA Rural Development finance much of the orphan well and new water infrastructure work. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements apply to federally funded projects; Build America, Buy America Act mandates domestic material sourcing for SRF and state-funded work. Small business set-asides appear in select procurements (Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Illinois Department of Corrections). Contractors must hold state water well contractor licenses, maintain pollution liability and workers' compensation insurance, and comply with well construction and abandonment regulations.
