UNSPSC 71121307: Downhole drilling tool repair services

Repair services for drilling tools

UNSPSC 71121307 Downhole drilling tool repair services, a Commodity code, encompasses the drilling, plugging, and site restoration of orphan and abandoned wells — work state and local governments procure primarily through environmental remediation, water supply infrastructure, and oil and gas regulatory programs. Recent opportunities show state environmental agencies, county utilities, and special-purpose districts soliciting comprehensive well-abandonment and rehabilitation services including well plugging with cement, casing removal or sealing, site preparation and restoration, and equipment disposal. The issuing bodies span state environmental departments (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; Texas General Land Office; Illinois Department of Natural Resources), county utilities and water districts (Marion County, Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Volusia County, Collier County, Eastern Municipal Water District), municipal water departments (City of Bend, City of Santa Cruz, City of Palm Bay), and specialized water authorities (Eastern Municipal Water District). Water-well rehabilitation and maintenance work dominates current activity, with solicitations naming pump removal and reinstallation, mechanical brushing, airburst treatment, chemical rehabilitation, video logging, sediment removal, disinfection, testing, and equipment replacement as standard scope elements; orphan oil and gas well plugging under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding represents a secondary but growing segment.

The geographic spread concentrates in Florida (multiple county and municipal solicitations including Seminole, Hillsborough, Collier, Marion, Sarasota, and Volusia counties; City of Palm Bay), Michigan (Michigan Department of Environment orphan well plugging across Gratiot and Montcalm counties), and California (Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, San Bernardino County, City of Santa Cruz). Secondary activity appears in Texas (City of Lubbock water treatment plant design; Texas General Land Office H2S well services), Mississippi (oil and gas board orphan well programs across multiple counties), Georgia (City of Helen monitoring well replacement; McIntosh County deep well project), Illinois (Illinois Department of Natural Resources), Wisconsin (City of Watertown well rehabilitation), and Oregon (City of Bend River Well #1; City of Pendleton Byers Well). Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's four direct solicitations (posted July 16, 2026, due July 21, 2026) for orphan well plugging and site restoration across Gratiot County and Montcalm County—26 total wells across four projects (DS7612600000000322, DS7612600000000332, DS7612600000000352, DS7612600000000342)—requiring prequalified contractors and unit-rate pricing matrices with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance; the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB-26-00234 (posted May 19, 2026) for two-year water well maintenance and repair services for 67 irrigation and potable water wells at $688,073 estimated value; and the Eastern Municipal Water District RFP #3931 (posted April 2, 2026, due April 24, 2026) for on-call well maintenance and rehabilitation services across California with a five-year term and up to $2.8 million contract capacity. Demand remains steady across 2026 with mid-year activity concentrated in Florida counties and sustained federal funding supporting orphan well plugging in Mississippi and other states through IIJA grants.
