UNSPSC 71121117: Perforating through coiled tubing services

Performing perforating services through coiled tubing.

UNSPSC 71121117 Perforating through coiled tubing services is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not align with actual procurement activity in this dataset. The opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly reflect well drilling, well plugging, well abandonment, well maintenance, water infrastructure construction, and pump station repair work—none of which falls within the scope of coiled tubing perforation services as understood in oil and gas operations. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged to the code or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC category definition and current state and local usage patterns.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code span water utilities (cities and counties), state environmental and natural resources departments, park and recreation authorities, and special districts. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) appears repeatedly with orphan oil and gas well plugging solicitations; water systems in Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, and Oregon post well drilling, construction, and maintenance work. Recent representative opportunities include the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board requesting sealed bids for plugging, remediation, and reclamation of nine orphaned oil and gas wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (IFB RFx No. 3160008162, bids due December 18, 2026), the Michigan EGLE soliciting proposals from prequalified vendors for orphan well plugging in Kent County (DS 260000000032 and related direct solicitations, proposals due July 21, 2026), and the City of Albany, Georgia requesting sealed bids for rehabilitation and upgrade of Well No. 21 (Bid Ref. 27-032, bids due November 16, 2026). The City of DeBary, Florida bid Bid 03-15 for Rob Sullivan Park irrigation system improvements. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Michigan (multiple EGLE orphan well projects), Mississippi (orphaned oil and gas wells through the MSOGB), Florida (municipal water and irrigation infrastructure), and Georgia (water system improvements). The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with coiled tubing perforation services; state and local governments under this tag are purchasing well construction, plugging, maintenance, and water utility infrastructure work, not specialized oilfield perforating services.
