UNSPSC 71121122: Well kill through coiled tubing services

Performing well kill procedures through coiled tubing.

UNSPSC 71121122 Well kill through coiled tubing services is a Commodity-tier code covering specialized well abandonment and remediation work being actively solicited by state departments and county entities across the United States. State and local governments use this code to procure the plugging, abandonment, and site restoration of orphaned oil and gas wells, as well as specialized drilling, re-drilling, and equipment-removal services at production wells nearing end of life. The work encompasses comprehensive services including well plugging with cement seals, drilling and casing operations, wireline services, site mobilization and demobilization, equipment and material rental, waste disposal, environmental compliance, site preparation, and restoration—often packaged as turnkey projects with unit-price or lump-sum components. State environmental departments (particularly Michigan, Mississippi, and Texas) and county-level authorities dominate recent activity, frequently executing direct solicitations or invitations to bid targeting prequalified contractor lists. Issuing bodies include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; the Railroad Commission of Texas; and county industrial development authorities and water utilities. Many solicitations carry Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and are federally funded through infrastructure grant programs such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or Department of Interior orphaned-wells initiatives.

Recent solicitations cluster heavily in Michigan, Mississippi, and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, California, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy posted four direct solicitations in July 2026 for orphan well plugging and site restoration in Gratiot and Montcalm counties—covering three to fourteen wells per contract—all due July 21, 2026, with mandatory prequalification and pre-proposal attendance. The Mississippi Oil and Gas Board issued multiple invitations for bid throughout March and April 2026 for plugging, remediation, and reclamation of seven to ten orphaned wells per contract, funded through federal infrastructure grants. The Texas General Land Office solicited H2S well plugging and related services for high-pressure, high-hydrogen-sulfide wells statewide in May 2026. Activity in water infrastructure includes well maintenance, drilling, rehabilitation, and pump-installation contracts at municipal water utilities in Florida (Seminole County, Hillsborough County, Sarasota County), California (Eastern Municipal Water District), and Oregon. Recent representative opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy direct solicitation for Orphan Well New Haven Section 3 (three wells) in Gratiot County, due July 21, 2026, requiring prequalification and mandatory pre-proposal attendance; the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board invitation for bid for plugging and reclamation of seven orphaned wells in multiple counties, due May 11, 2026; and the Eastern Municipal Water District RFP for well maintenance and rehabilitation services on an as-needed basis with multiple award provisions, due April 24, 2026.
