UNSPSC 71121106: Completion through coiled tubing services

The use of oilfield hardware through coiled tubing.

UNSPSC 71121106 Completion through coiled tubing services (Commodity) describes work state and local governments actually buy under this code through a narrow lens: well abandonment, plugging, and remediation services for orphaned oil and gas wells, along with supplementary water-well drilling, maintenance, and restoration projects. Recent solicitations reveal a dual-track market — one focused on environmental compliance for decommissioned energy infrastructure (plugging orphan wells under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding), and another addressing municipal water supply needs (drilling production wells, replacing failing systems, and performing video surveys and casing repairs). The work is episodic and geographically concentrated in states with legacy oil-and-gas deposits or active well-management programs: Michigan (Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy), Mississippi (Oil and Gas Board), Florida (county and municipal water utilities), and Georgia (municipal water systems). Issuing bodies range from state environmental agencies managing orphan-well remediation to county boards purchasing on-call pump maintenance and small municipalities procuring individual well construction or rehabilitation projects. The code shows active recent competition from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, which issued multiple direct-solicitation RFQs in June and July 2026 for plugging services at prequalified vendor pools; the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board posted an IFB in July 2026 for nine orphaned wells with a December 2026 deadline; and Florida counties and cities (Escambia, Sarasota, Seminole, Hillsborough, and the City of Ocala) issued quotes and bids for monitoring-well installation, pump-station grinder replacement, well maintenance contracts, and structure demolition work.

Recent opportunities anchor to water infrastructure, orphan-well remediation, and supplemental drilling across the Southeast and Midwest. The Michigan EGLE issued prequalification RFPs in August and September 2026 for oil and gas well plugging, drilling, and site restoration services on the Lower Peninsula, with five vendors ultimately awarded contracts totaling $800,000 (Lease Management, Inc., $100,000; M&A Energy Services LLC, $200,000; NuPointe Energy LLC, $200,000; Plants and Goodwin, Inc., $200,000; Team Services LLC, $100,000); the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board posted an IFB on October 5, 2026, for nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties with bids due December 18, 2026; and the State of Michigan notified award on October 13, 2026, for the Gilbert Orphan Well Plugging project in Kent County. Outside the orphan-well space, the City of Albany, Georgia solicited bids for Well No. 21 rehabilitation due November 16, 2026; the City of DeBary, Florida procured Rob Sullivan Park irrigation system improvements (IFB 0315, closed April 10, 2015, but reflecting the code's scope); Sarasota County requested well abandonment quotes on July 10, 2026; Hillsborough County issued a sole-source notice for Wet Well Wizard aeration systems over five years valued at $5.371 million; and the Austin Parks and Recreation Department rebid well maintenance for Deep Eddy and Big Stacy pools (IFB 8600-DCG1032REBID, due October 1, 2026). All Davis-Bacon–funded work carries prevailing wage mandates; most well and pump projects require contractor licensing (Florida FDEP water well contractor, California Class A or C-class, Michigan business registration) and comprehensive insurance (commercial general liability typically $1–$2 million, pollution liability $2–$5 million for specialized services). Set-asides appear sporadically: the Illinois Department of Corrections designated well casing repair work as small-business only; Michigan considers geographically disadvantaged business status under state procurement rules. The code remains active but task-specific, with award volumes ranging from $100,000 one-off well projects to $5.3 million multi-year maintenance frameworks and $800,000 prequalified vendor pools for regional orphan-well campaigns.
