UNSPSC 71121103: Cementing through coiled tubing services

Service that pumps cement into the wellbore through coiled tubing.

UNSPSC 71121103 Cementing through coiled tubing services is a Commodity code covering wellbore abandonment and remediation work that state and local governments procure primarily through environmental compliance and infrastructure management programs. State and local buyers under this code are purchasing plugging, cementing, and site restoration services for orphaned oil and gas wells, municipal water well rehabilitation, and related subsurface work. The work involves skilled labor, specialized drilling and completion equipment, cementing materials, and environmental compliance—services almost universally delivered on a unit-price or lump-sum basis through competitive sealed-bid or direct-solicitation processes.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Michigan and Mississippi, driven by federally funded orphaned well remediation programs. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has dominated the market with four concurrent direct solicitations posted July 16, 2026 (DS7612600000000322, DS7612600000000332, DS7612600000000342, and DS7612600000000352) covering 38 orphaned gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties, all due July 21, 2026. These solicitations restrict bidding to contractors prequalified through five prior RFPs, require attendance at mandatory pre-proposal meetings on July 9, 2026, and mandate Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance. The Mississippi Oil and Gas Board has issued three separate IFBs (3160007881, 3160007966, and 3160007967) for orphaned well plugging and reclamation across multiple counties, with bids due April 13 through April 28, 2026. Geographic spread extends to Florida (Seminole County and Sarasota County wastewater and water-supply well work), California (Eastern Municipal Water District on-call and as-needed well maintenance), Illinois (Union County well installation), Oregon (City of Bend well engineering and City of Pendleton well improvement), and Texas (Railroad Commission statewide plugging). Qualifications thresholds typically require five years of documented experience, valid state well-contractor licensing, comprehensive insurance, and compliance with environmental and prevailing wage regulations. Cost estimates for individual projects range from $50,000 to $2.9 million, with larger programs like Michigan's orphaned well initiatives and EMWD's five-year on-call contracts ($2.8 million maximum) representing stable, repeatable revenue streams for prequalified contractors positioned to move quickly through mandatory pre-bid meetings and tight submission timelines.
