UNSPSC 71121018: Well cement evaluation services

Cement evaluation service to measure the bond between the casing and the cement placed in the wellbore annulus between casing and wellbore. The measurement is made with acoustic sonic or ultrasonic tools.

UNSPSC 71121018 Well cement evaluation services is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure well abandonment, plugging, and remediation services under this code—primarily for orphaned oil and gas wells, municipal water wells requiring rehabilitation, and groundwater monitoring infrastructure. Recent solicitations emphasize complete abandonment workflows including plugging operations, site restoration, cement sealing to specified depths, and environmental compliance, often financed through federal infrastructure grants or state environmental programs.

Issuing bodies span state environmental departments, state oil and gas regulators, counties, municipalities, water utilities, and special-purpose authorities. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy dominates recent activity, posting four consecutive direct solicitations in July 2026 for orphaned gas storage well plugging in Gratiot and Montcalm Counties, each requiring prequalification through prior RFPs and mandatory pre-bid attendance. The Mississippi Oil and Gas Board has issued multiple Invitations for Bids for orphaned well remediation funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. County and municipal water utilities—Hillsborough County (Florida), Seminole County (Florida), Collier County (Florida), Marion County (Florida), and others—solicit well maintenance, rehabilitation, and construction services that include plugging and cement work as components of broader water infrastructure projects. Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and California show recent activity in well drilling, pump installation, and rehabilitation contracts that encompass cement and sealing operations.

Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy direct solicitation for the Orphan Well New Haven Section 3 project (three wells in Gratiot County, RFP DS7612600000000322, due July 21, 2026), requiring unit pricing for 68 line items covering labor, equipment, cementing services, wireline operations, and site restoration under Davis-Bacon prevailing wage; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB 26-00234 for water well maintenance and repair services ($688,073 estimated over two years, due June 12, 2026) encompassing pump replacement, tank work, and well casing repairs across 67 irrigation and potable wells; and the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board IFB 3160007967 for plugging and reclamation of seven orphaned wells across five counties (due May 11, 2026), requiring 100-foot cement plugs at the base of Underground Source of Drinking Water with tagging verification. Activity concentrates in Florida, Michigan, Mississippi, and Texas, with smaller flows through Illinois, California, Georgia, and Oregon.
