UNSPSC 71121102: Cable installation through coiled tubing services

Installation of cable through coiled tubing.

UNSPSC 71121102 Cable installation through coiled tubing services is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations. The opportunities tagged under this code span irrigation system improvements, orphaned oil and gas well plugging, water well drilling and rehabilitation, wastewater pump station repairs, and demolition services — none of which involve cable installation through coiled tubing. State and local buying under the nominal code definition appears absent or mislabeled across the recent opportunities block. The issuing bodies include state departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Texas Parks and Wildlife), counties (Sarasota, Seminole, Gwinnett, Hillsborough, Escambia, Boulder, San Bernardino), cities (DeBary, Albany, Bend, Austin, Ocala, Reynolds, Wrens, Pascagoula, Lubbock), and special districts (Hilldale Water District). Geographic spread covers Michigan, Mississippi, Illinois, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Texas, Colorado, and scattered other states, with no standout concentration.

The recent solicitations reveal state and local procurement is materially focused on water infrastructure — well drilling, construction, rehabilitation, and abandonment under IFBs and RFPs; orphaned well plugging across Michigan and Mississippi funded by Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act grants; pump station maintenance and repair; and related utility capital projects. Representative opportunities include the City of DeBary's Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements (IFB, response April 10, 2015), Michigan EGLE's Gilbert Orphan Well Plugging project (prequalified vendor RFP, responses closed October 2026), the City of Albany's Well No. 21 Rehabilitation (IFB, due November 16, 2026), and Hillsborough County's water well maintenance and repair services (ITB, estimated $688,073 over two years, due June 12, 2026). The code as nominally defined does not match the actual procurement activity being tagged — this is a mislabeling or scope-drift issue rather than a meaningful market signal.
