UNSPSC 71121407: Well site drilling optimization assistance service

Services to advise customers on procedures used to make a system or design used for drilling as effective or functional as possible.

UNSPSC 71121407 Well site drilling optimization assistance service is a Commodity code with little recent activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. State and local procurement records tagged under this code show instead active demand for well construction, maintenance, repair, abandonment, and plugging services across irrigation, potable water, wastewater pump station, and orphan oil-and-gas remediation contexts. The actual work being solicited includes water well drilling and installation (new municipal supply wells, stock water wells, exploratory monitor wells), well rehabilitation and casing repair (video surveys, thermographic surveys, structural assessment), emergency maintenance and repair on operating systems, monitoring well installation at landfill and surface-water facilities, and comprehensive orphan well plugging under federal infrastructure programs. Issuing bodies span state environmental and natural resources departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Illinois Department of Corrections and Natural Resources, Texas Parks and Wildlife), county governments and special districts (Hillsborough, Seminole, Sarasota, Escambia, Gwinnett, Boulder, Marion, Kent, Gratiot, Adams, Walthall counties), cities (Lubbock, Bend, Albany, Reynolds, Wrens, Ocala, Austin, Pascagoula), special-purpose water and waste districts, and parks authorities. Michigan and Florida jurisdictions appear most frequently in recent postings, followed by Mississippi, Georgia, Illinois, Colorado, and Texas.

Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy prequalification RFP for oil and gas services (posted August 25, 2026, proposals due September 22, 2026) establishing a five-year vendor pool for orphan well plugging and site restoration across Michigan's Lower Peninsula, with five awardees qualifying at total contract value of $800,000; the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board IFB for plugging and remediation of nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (posted October 5, 2026, bids due December 18, 2026) under Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding; the City of Albany, Georgia sealed-bid solicitation for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (posted October 12, 2026, due November 16, 2026); Escambia County Waste Services Department ITQ for three monitoring well installations at Klondike Landfill (posted October 6, 2026, due September 16, 2026—deadline passed); Hillsborough County two-year water well maintenance and repair services ITB at $688,073 estimated value (posted May 19, 2026, due June 12, 2026); and the City of Austin Parks and Recreation rebid on well maintenance for Deep Eddy and Big Stacy pools under IFB 8600-DCG1032REBID with local business preference for the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area (posted August 31, 2026). Most solicitations are posted as IFB, RFP, RFQ, or ITQ; federal or state revolving fund financing, Build America Buy America Act compliance, and prevailing wage requirements appear frequently in water infrastructure projects. Small business set-asides appear in Illinois procurement (Union County SFWA well repair), and minority business enterprise participation goals are noted in several county and state opportunities.
