UNSPSC 71121206: Core analysis service

Core analysis performed by provider at supplier location or on the job site.

UNSPSC 71121206 Core analysis service is a Commodity code capturing the technical assessment, design review, and diagnostic work that state and local water utilities and environmental agencies commission before, during, and after well and infrastructure projects. The recent solicitations show a mix of field-condition surveying (video surveys of existing wells, thermographic imaging), feasibility and depth-to-groundwater analysis prior to drilling, water quality and bacteriological testing, and pre-design engineering studies that inform construction scope and cost. State and local buyers under this code span water departments in mid-size cities (Lubbock, Reynolds, Albany, Wrens), county utilities and parks operations (Boulder County, Hillsborough County, San Bernardino County, Seminole County), state environmental and natural-resources departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Texas Parks and Wildlife), and special-purpose water districts (Hilldale Water District, Escambia County Waste Services). The geographic spread is broad, with recent activity across Florida (DeBary, Escambia County, Sarasota County, Hillsborough County, Seminole County), Michigan (multiple orphan well projects statewide), Georgia (Albany, Reynolds, Wrens), Texas (Lubbock, UTSA), Mississippi (Pascagoula, Hilldale Water District), Illinois (Sheridan Correctional Center, Union County), Colorado (Boulder County), and Oregon (Silver Falls State Park).

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Albany's IFB for Well No. 21 Rehabilitation (bid due November 16, 2026), which encompasses assessment, repair, and testing to restore municipal well capacity; the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's multiple direct solicitations for orphan well plugging and site restoration (proposals due July 21, 2026), restricted to prequalified vendors and requiring detailed technical evaluations of personnel, equipment, and experience; and the Illinois Department of Corrections' color video survey and well casing repair quotes for Sheridan Correctional Center Well #1 (quotes due August 24, 2026, small-business set-aside), addressing a 1940-era well requiring condition assessment before repair authorization. Core analysis and diagnostic services appear most active in orphan-well remediation workflows under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, where prequalification for technical capability is standard; in municipal water system upgrades funded through state revolving loans; and in routine maintenance programs for distributed well portfolios at county utilities and parks agencies. The code shows steady activity rather than seasonal concentration, with opportunities posted throughout the year and response windows typically 30–60 days.
