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 is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity shows little alignment with the abstract code name. State and local governments have posted no recent opportunities for logging or coiled tubing work. Instead, the recent solicitations tagged to this code involve well construction, rehabilitation, abandonment, and maintenance—activities that fall within water infrastructure and environmental remediation, not oil and gas extraction services. The issuing bodies include state environmental and energy agencies (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; Illinois Department of Natural Resources), counties (Sarasota County, Seminole County, Hillsborough County), cities (Ocala, Albany, Wrens, Reynolds, Pascagoula, Lubbock), special districts (Escambia County Waste Services, Boulder County Parks and Open Space), and state parks departments (Oregon Parks and Recreation, Texas Parks and Wildlife). The code appears to be a taxonomic mismatch—state and local procurement systems have tagged water well, pump station, and orphan well projects to a code explicitly intended for oil and gas coiled tubing logging, creating a classification error that obscures the real market signal.

Recent opportunities reveal two distinct activity streams. First, a large cluster of orphan and abandoned oil and gas well plugging projects in Michigan (targeting prequalified contractors under framework agreements for wells in Gratiot, Montcalm, and Kent Counties) and Mississippi (nine wells in Jasper and Jones Counties under IFB RFx No. 3160008162, due December 18, 2026), funded through Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act federal grants and subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements. Second, a broader set of municipal water supply, irrigation, and wastewater infrastructure work: well drilling and construction (City of Albany Bid Ref. 27-032 Well No. 21 Rehabilitation, due November 16, 2026; City of Wrens Well #107, due September 3, 2026; City of Reynolds New Deep Well & Chemical Feed Building, due August 14, 2026), well maintenance and repair contracts (Hillsborough County water well maintenance for 67 wells; San Bernardino County on-call well and pump services; Seminole County wastewater pump station rehabilitation), and specialized services (Illinois Department of Corrections well casing surveys and repairs). Sarasota County and Escambia County issued quotes for well abandonment and monitoring well installation. The geographic spread spans Michigan (dominant in recent orphan well activity), Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Colorado, Oregon, Texas, and California, with Michigan and Florida showing the highest concentration of recent postings.
