UNSPSC 71121025 Other cementing services (Commodity) spans well abandonment, well plugging, and orphan well remediation work that state and local governments buy across water utilities, environmental remediation programs, and oil and gas regulatory boards. State solicitations show a mix of issuing bodies: municipal water departments and county utilities contracting for routine well maintenance, rehabilitation, and abandonment; state environmental or oil-and-gas agencies (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Texas Railroad Commission; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board) procuring orphan well plugging on federal grant funding; and school districts and county commissioners seeking general maintenance that incidentally includes cementing services as part of broader facility repair vehicles. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has dominated recent activity with four direct solicitations in July 2026 for plugging and site restoration across 26 orphan gas storage wells in Gratiot and Montcalm counties—three separate ITBs posted July 16 and due July 21, 2026, each restricted to vendors prequalified through prior RFPs and requiring attendance at a mandatory pre-bid meeting. Illinois Department of Natural Resources issued an IFB in June 2026 (due July 9) for a supplemental irrigation well with pump installation at Union County State Fish and Wildlife Area under a small-business set-aside, while the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board has posted multiple Invitations for Bids for orphan well plugging and reclamation across the state, with bids due in April and May 2026 under federal IIJA funding.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Michigan (orphan gas well program), Mississippi (statewide orphan well program), and Texas (Railroad Commission statewide well plugging RFQ and General Land Office high H2S well services RFQ), with secondary activity in Florida (Sarasota County well abandonment and Seminole County wastewater pump station services both posted July 2026), Illinois, and the Southwest. Recent work is heavily weighted toward orphan well abandonment under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act grant funding, which carries Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, Build America Buy America compliance, and prequalification or experience thresholds. Contractors pursuing this code should expect mandatory pre-bid meetings, unit pricing matrices (often 60+ line items covering labor, equipment, materials, and specialized services), firm pricing for project duration, and evaluation on best value rather than lowest cost; service-disabled veteran status and small-business set-asides appear on state-level procurements but are not universal.
