UNSPSC 71121109: Extended reach well services

Performing extended reach well service through coiled tubing.

UNSPSC 71121109 Extended reach well services is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement for plugging, abandonment, and site restoration of orphaned and gas storage wells, along with related well maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation services. State and local governments buy comprehensive turnkey well abandonment work under this code—drilling and re-drilling services, plugging with cement seals, wireline operations, waste disposal, site preparation and restoration, and heavy equipment mobilization. Work also includes mechanical rehabilitation of existing municipal and industrial wells through brushing, chemical treatment, air shock treatment, pump replacement, testing, and video inspection. Recent opportunities show a mix of state environmental agencies, county utilities, municipal water departments, and special districts issuing solicitations, with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy driving the most recent activity through a cluster of orphan-well abandonment projects in Gratiot and Montcalm counties.

The recent opportunities concentrate heavily in Michigan, Florida, and the broader Midwest and South, with activity spanning state environmental remediation programs, county and municipal water infrastructure upgrades, and irrigation system improvements. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy posted four direct solicitations in July 2026 (due July 21, 2026) for plugging and site restoration of 38 orphaned gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties—three separate well packages (3 wells, 14 wells, and 9 wells each) plus a 12-well project—all requiring prequalification through prior RFPs and attendance at mandatory pre-proposal meetings on July 9, 2026. Contractors must submit unit pricing for 68 line items covering labor, equipment, cementing, wireline services, and site restoration, with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance mandatory at rates ranging $39.57–$41.28 per hour plus $25.25–$40.00 fringe. In Florida, Seminole County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation for Bid (due August 5, 2026, revised from June 17, 2026) for wastewater pump station maintenance, repair, and refurbishment services across 18 scope-of-work categories, requiring fixed hourly labor rates, 51 percent self-performance, and a 24-hour emergency response capability. San Bernardino County Department of Public Works posted an RFQ (due August 31, 2026) for on-call well and pump maintenance services across county water systems and special districts, with a maximum contract value of $2.8 million over five years and emphasis on prevailing wage compliance. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an Invitation to Bid (due June 12, 2026) for two-year water well maintenance and repair services at 67 irrigation and potable wells valued at $688,073.00, requiring Southwest Florida Water Management District water well contractor licensing. The Eastern Municipal Water District in California posted an RFP (due April 24, 2026) for on-call well maintenance and rehabilitation services with a minimum of two contractors to be awarded, subject to California prevailing wage and contractor licensing requirements (C-57, C-61/D-21). Mississippi and Texas environmental agencies have posted multiple orphan-well plugging solicitations funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, including the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFBs for seven wells (due April 13, 2026, May 11, 2026, and April 28, 2026) and the Railroad Commission of Texas's RFQ for statewide well plugging with HUB set-aside opportunities. This code remains active and competitive, with strong federal funding momentum driving state-level environmental remediation work and consistent municipal demand for routine well maintenance and emergency response capabilities.
