UNSPSC 71121114: Logging with coiled tubing services

To record a measurement versus depth or time, or both, of one or more physical quantities in or around a well through coiled tubing.

UNSPSC 71121114 Logging with coiled tubing services, a Commodity code, encompasses orphan well abandonment, plugging, and site restoration work that state and local governments procure as infrastructure remediation and environmental compliance services. State and local governments are buying comprehensive well-closure packages—including drilling, plugging, cementing, wireline services, waste disposal, equipment rental, and site restoration—rather than discrete coiled tubing interventions. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy dominates recent activity, issuing four concurrent direct solicitations in July 2026 for plugging and restoration of 38 orphan gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties. The code also captures well abandonment, water well rehabilitation, and related groundwater infrastructure services from county and municipal utilities across Florida, California, Georgia, Mississippi, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Wisconsin. Issuing bodies include state environmental and natural resources departments, county utilities and boards of commissioners, municipal water departments, and special districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan EGLE direct solicitation for three orphan wells in Gratiot County (due July 21, 2026, IFB format, prequalified vendors only, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage required) and the Seminole County Utilities Department master service agreement for wastewater pump station repair and refurbishment (due August 5, 2026, IFB format, M/WBE participation encouraged, three-year initial term with two one-year renewals).

Geographic activity centers on Michigan, which issued four major orphan-well plugging contracts in a single posting cycle spanning 38 wells; Florida, with Seminole County, Sarasota County, Hillsborough County, Marion County, and Collier County soliciting well maintenance, construction, and abandonment services; and secondary activity in California, Mississippi, Illinois, Georgia, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest. State environmental agencies, particularly those administering federal orphan well remediation programs, are driving procurement volume, often under direct solicitation with prequalification gates and mandatory pre-bid meetings. Compensation structures vary: lump-sum bids for discrete well projects, unit-price or time-and-materials arrangements for maintenance and repair work, and DBFOOM (Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate-Maintain) contracting for long-term digester gas utilization. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements apply frequently where federal funding (IIJA Formula grants, EPA WIFIA) is present. Set-asides and preferences are emerging: Michigan considers service-disabled veteran-owned business status under state law; Seminole County encourages M/WBE participation; Illinois designates small business set-asides on specific projects. Bidder qualification gates are common—prequalification through prior RFPs, active contractor licensing (California C-57, Oregon certification), minimum five-year experience with reference verification, and mandatory insurance (pollution liability, workers' compensation, general liability in the $1 million to $3 million range). Most opportunities require on-site work completion within 60–240 days, with liquidated damages for delay.
