UNSPSC 71121108: Coring through coiled tubing services

Obtaining a core sample through coiled tubing.

UNSPSC 71121108 Coring through coiled tubing services, a Commodity code, does not map to the work state and local governments are actually soliciting. The code's nominal scope — specialized oil and gas coring operations using coiled tubing equipment — bears no relationship to the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. Instead, the opportunities cluster around water infrastructure: well drilling, installation, rehabilitation, abandonment, pump maintenance, and site restoration across municipal water systems, county utilities, state parks, and special districts. This divergence reflects a tagging error in the source data, not an active procurement market under the code as named.

The recent opportunities reveal substantial activity in water-well and irrigation-system work posted by Florida municipalities (City of DeBary, Escambia County, Sarasota County, Hillsborough County), Georgia cities (Albany, Reynolds, Wrens), Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) under orphan-well remediation programs, Mississippi state agencies, Illinois Department of Corrections and Natural Resources, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Oregon Parks and Recreation, and Colorado and California counties. Representative solicitations include the City of DeBary's $90,000 irrigation system upgrade (IFB, April 2015, closed); Michigan EGLE's Gilbert Orphan Well Plugging (direct RFQ solicitation, October 2026, closed); the City of Albany's Well No. 21 rehabilitation (sealed bid, November 2026); the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's nine-well orphan-well plugging project (IFB, December 2026); and Escambia County's three-well monitoring installation at Klondike Landfill (ITQ, September 2026, closed). Most opportunities are geographically dispersed across the Southeast (Florida, Georgia), Midwest (Michigan, Illinois, Mississippi), and West (Oregon, Colorado, Texas). The code shows recent activity but misclassification—state and local agencies are not procuring coiled-tubing coring services; they are purchasing conventional drilling, well installation, repair, and remediation services that belong to a different taxonomy category entirely.
