UNSPSC 71121106: Completion through coiled tubing services

The use of oilfield hardware through coiled tubing.

UNSPSC 71121106 Completion through coiled tubing services is a Commodity code that encompasses well plugging, abandonment, and site restoration services for orphaned oil and gas wells. State and local governments procure these services primarily through state environmental and natural resources departments managing orphaned well remediation programs, with recent activity concentrated in Michigan, Mississippi, Texas, and Florida. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has dominated recent solicitations, issuing four direct solicitations in July 2026 (DS 260000000032, 260000000033, 260000000034, and 260000000035) for plugging and site restoration of 38 orphan gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties, all with July 21, 2026 response deadlines. These Michigan procurements specify Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance, mandatory prequalification through prior RFPs, unit pricing across comprehensive 68-line-item matrices covering rig services, drilling equipment, cementing, wireline, waste disposal, and site restoration, with evaluation based on key personnel (25 points), business-owned equipment (25 points), technical experience (25 points), and vendor questions (25 points), requiring a minimum 80-point threshold for award consideration.

Geographic activity extends beyond Michigan to Mississippi, where the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board has issued multiple Invitations for Bids for orphaned well plugging across Adams, Clarke, Hinds, Jefferson Davis, Issaquena, Madison, and Yazoo counties under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding. Texas also shows activity through the Railroad Commission statewide well plugging RFQ and the Texas General Land Office H2S well pad RFQ. Issuing bodies mix state oil and gas regulators (Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Texas Railroad Commission, Texas General Land Office), state environmental agencies (Michigan EGLE), and county-level water utilities conducting routine well rehabilitation and abandonment work (Collier County, Marion County, Sarasota County, Brevard County Florida; San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and Eastern Municipal Water District California). The code also captures municipal water well construction and rehabilitation services—well deepening, pump replacement, monitoring well installation, and ASR conversion design—solicited by cities and counties in Oregon, Georgia, Florida, and California. Recent procurement types span direct solicitations (Michigan orphan wells), Invitations for Bid (Mississippi well plugging, Collier County well improvements), Requests for Proposals (Eastern Municipal Water District well maintenance RFP #3931, City of Bend River Well #1 engineering RFP 26-3256), and on-call service agreements (San Bernardino County well and pump maintenance). Set-asides and preferences appear selectively: Michigan recognizes service-disabled veteran-owned business status; Mississippi applies Davis-Bacon and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act domestic-content requirements; Illinois designates small business set-asides for well pump installation contracts; and Texas actively seeks Historically Underutilized Business participation in statewide well plugging procurement.
