UNSPSC 71121107: Conveying inflatables through coiled tubing services

The use of coiled tubing to convey inflatable packers.

UNSPSC 71121107 Conveying inflatables through coiled tubing services (Commodity) does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities posted against this code span water infrastructure, wastewater systems, orphan well plugging, and irrigation—none of which involve conveying inflatables through coiled tubing. The code's nominal scope appears disconnected from procurement reality, and this mismatch indicates the code carries little relevant activity for firms pursuing state and local contracts in these sectors.

State and local issuing bodies—including city water departments, county utilities, state environmental agencies, and special districts—are soliciting well drilling, pump installation, well rehabilitation, maintenance services, and site restoration across water supply and wastewater systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeBary, Florida (IFB for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements, $90,000, April 2015); the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (prequalification RFP for orphan well plugging services, $800,000 across five awardees, October 2026); Hillsborough County, Florida (ITB for water well maintenance and repair across 67 wells, $688,073 estimated, June 2026); and the City of Albany, Georgia (sealed bid for Well No. 21 rehabilitation, response due November 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Michigan, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas, with scattered opportunities in Illinois, Colorado, Oregon, and other states. The absence of "conveying inflatables through coiled tubing" language in any recent solicitation, combined with the prevalence of conventional well construction and maintenance work, suggests this code was either misclassified by the source or represents an obsolete or highly specialized taxonomy entry that does not capture state and local water infrastructure procurement.
