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, encompasses well plugging, abandonment, and site restoration services for orphaned oil and gas wells and municipal water infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure comprehensive turnkey well services including drilling, casing installation, cementing, wireline operations, waste disposal, site preparation, and restoration under this code. The issuing bodies span state environmental and energy departments (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Texas General Land Office; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; Illinois Department of Natural Resources; Railroad Commission of Texas), counties and municipalities (Marion County and Collier County, Florida; Seminole County, Florida; Sarasota County, Florida; San Bernardino County, California), regional water districts, and city water utilities. Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has emerged as a standout repeat buyer, issuing multiple direct solicitations for orphan well plugging across Gratiot County in July 2026.

The code sees concentrated recent activity in Michigan, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, California, and Illinois, with geographically distributed solicitations for well rehabilitation and orphan well plugging spanning the Midwest and South. Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy issuing four separate direct solicitations in July 2026 for plugging and site restoration of 26 orphan gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm Counties (due July 21, 2026), each requiring prequalification through prior RFPs and mandatory pre-proposal meetings; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing an ITB in May 2026 for water well maintenance and repair services at 67 irrigation and potable water wells throughout Hillsborough County, Florida, estimated at $688,073 over two years; and the Eastern Municipal Water District in California issuing an RFP for well maintenance and rehabilitation services on an as-needed basis with a five-year term and an intent to award to a minimum of two firms. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act characterize orphan well plugging solicitations. Most recent opportunities require prequalification, demonstrate best-value evaluation weighted toward experience and qualifications over price, and mandate comprehensive insurance and performance bonding.
