UNSPSC 71121025 Other cementing services (Commodity) covers well abandonment, plugging, and site restoration work that state and local governments procure to decommission orphan oil and gas wells, close municipal water wells, and restore well sites to compliance with environmental regulations. Recent state and local solicitations show that buying agencies use this code to tag work spanning well-video surveys, casing repair, cement plug installation, site reclamation, and full-scope plugging turnkey contracts at depths ranging from 240 feet to 10,700 feet.

The issuing-body mix reflects a clear concentration in state energy and environmental departments, chiefly Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), which has posted ten recent direct solicitations for orphan gas-storage-well plugging across Gratiot, Montcalm, and Kent Counties, all restricted to prequalified vendors from prior RFPs. The Mississippi Oil and Gas Board has posted two competitive IFBs for nine and ten orphan well sites respectively, both federally funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Secondary buyers include municipal water utilities—the City of Albany (Georgia), Hilldale Water District (Mississippi), City of Reynolds (Georgia), and City of Wrens (Georgia)—soliciting well rehabilitation, new-well drilling, and abandonment services under ITQ, IFB, and sealed-bid formats. State correctional and parks departments (Illinois Department of Corrections, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department) appear less frequently. Geographic activity concentrates in the Midwest (Michigan, Illinois, Mississippi) and Southeast (Florida, Georgia); recent posted solicitations show particular intensity in Michigan's Lower Peninsula orphan-well program and southern-state water-system improvements. Representative recent opportunities include Michigan EGLE's Gilbert 1 Orphan Well Plugging project in Kent County (direct solicitation, prequalified vendors only, proposals due October 12, 2026), Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's nine-well plugging RFx in Jasper and Jones Counties (IFB, mandatory pre-bid October 22, bids due December 18, 2026), City of Albany's Well No. 21 rehabilitation (sealed-bid ITB, due November 16, 2026), and Illinois Department of Corrections' well-video-survey and casing-repair contracts at Sheridan Correctional Center (small-business set-aside and open quotes, multiple posting cycles through September 2026). Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements apply to federally funded orphan-well work; state-funded water-utility projects frequently require Build America, Buy America Act compliance and American Iron and Steel certifications.
