UNSPSC 71121112: High pressure coiled tubing services

Applying high well treatments through coiled tubing.

UNSPSC 71121112 High pressure coiled tubing services (Commodity) represents well abandonment, plugging, remediation, and site restoration work that state and local governments procure to manage orphaned or end-of-life oil and gas infrastructure, remediate environmental hazards, and reclaim land. Recent state and local solicitations show state environmental and natural resources agencies, county authorities, and special-purpose boards are the primary issuing bodies for this code, with work spanning plugging operations, drilling and re-drilling services, site preparation, equipment removal, waste disposal, wireline services, and infrastructure restoration. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy is a standout repeat buyer, having issued four concurrent direct solicitations in July 2026 for orphan well plugging at New Haven Energy LLC wellheads in Gratiot and Montcalm counties—each restricting bidding to firms prequalified through prior RFPs and requiring attendance at a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on July 9, 2026, with proposals due July 21, 2026. These solicitations require comprehensive pricing matrices covering 68 line items (labor, equipment, materials, specialized services), detailed project timelines segmented by site preparation, mobilization/demobilization, plugging, and site restoration phases, and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance. Evaluation is weighted equally across key personnel, business-owned equipment, technical experience and ability, and vendor questions, with an 80-point minimum threshold for award consideration and best-value selection rather than lowest price.

Recent activity concentrates in Michigan, Mississippi, and Texas, with secondary solicitations from state oil and gas boards, departments of natural resources, and special districts. The Michigan DEGLE portfolio dominates current pipeline activity, encompassing 26 total wells across four direct solicitations with July 21, 2026 deadlines; Mississippi's Oil and Gas Board has posted three separate IFB procurements for orphan well plugging in Adams, Clarke, Hinds, Jefferson Davis, Issaquena, Madison, and Yazoo counties (deadlines ranging from April 13 to April 28, 2026); and the Texas General Land Office and Railroad Commission have issued statewide requests for qualifications for routine and federally funded well plugging with HUB and disadvantaged-veteran set-asides. Smaller-scale activity also appears in Illinois (Union County SFWA well and pump installation, due July 9, 2026, under small-business set-aside) and multi-county/regional activity across Florida, Georgia, and Oregon where water treatment plant well rehabilitation and construction solicitations peripherally touch this code's scope through design, engineering, and construction contracts rather than plugging operations. Work is anticipated to commence in late fall or winter 2026 across Michigan projects, with Mississippi contracts running through May 2027 and Texas statewide prequalification ongoing.
