UNSPSC 71121104: Chemical cutting through coiled tubing services

Service that makes a chemical cut through coiled tubing.

UNSPSC 71121104 Chemical cutting through coiled tubing services is a Commodity code that encompasses well plugging, abandonment, and site restoration services for orphaned oil and gas wells—work state and local governments are currently procuring in sustained volumes to address decommissioning of legacy energy infrastructure. State and local buyers under this code include departments of environmental quality and energy, oil and gas regulatory boards, and special-purpose authorities managing orphaned well remediation programs funded through federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act grants. The work itself spans comprehensive turnkey plugging operations including drilling, casing installation, cementing, wireline services, waste disposal, heavy equipment operations, site preparation, and full site restoration to comply with state and federal environmental standards. Contractors typically operate under Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and must provide unit pricing for 60–70 line items covering labor classifications, equipment rentals, materials, and specialized services. Evaluation emphasizes technical qualifications—key personnel, business-owned equipment, company experience, and vendor responses—rather than price alone, with minimum scoring thresholds (typically 80 points) required for award consideration.

Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy posted four direct solicitations in mid-July 2026 for orphan well work in Gratiot and Montcalm counties, aggregating 38 wells across multiple sections of New Haven Energy LLC gas storage fields (DS 260000000032, 260000000033, 260000000034, 260000000035), all with July 21, 2026 response deadlines and mandatory pre-proposal meetings on July 9, 2026. Mississippi's Oil and Gas Board and the Texas General Land Office have each solicited plugging and remediation services for multiple orphaned wells in recent months, with Mississippi emphasizing Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act compliance and three-year minimum experience requirements. The code shows consistent geographic concentration in the Upper Midwest and South, with recent activity concentrated in Michigan, Mississippi, and Texas. Eligible bidders must typically be prequalified through prior RFP processes, attend mandatory pre-bid meetings, and meet strict experience thresholds; service-disabled veteran-owned business status receives consideration in Michigan procurements under Michigan law.
