UNSPSC 71121514: Resistivity measurement when drilling services

The recording of the resistance of formation water to natural or induced electrical current.

UNSPSC 71121514 Resistivity measurement when drilling services is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities in the dataset tagged under this code span well drilling, pump installation, well abandonment, water infrastructure, and wastewater pump station work — none of which involve resistivity measurement or downhole resistivity logging during drilling operations. The code's nominal scope (formation resistivity profiling and analysis performed during well development) does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local buyers in this block. State and local procurement activity in water infrastructure and well services gravitates toward installation, rehabilitation, maintenance, and abandonment of water supply wells; pump station construction and repair; and ancillary mechanical, electrical, and chemical systems. Resistivity measurement as a specialized geophysical service during drilling does not appear in recent postings.

The recent opportunities under this code span multiple states — Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Illinois, Colorado, Oregon, Texas, and South Carolina — across state environmental agencies, city water departments, county utilities, school districts, and state parks. Representative solicitations include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy prequalification for orphan well plugging services (RFP, September 22, 2026 due date); the City of Albany, Georgia well rehabilitation IFB (November 16, 2026); the Hillsborough County water well maintenance and repair ITB (June 12, 2026, $688,073 estimated value); and multiple City of Ocala demolition and removal RFQs (November 20, 2025 and March 24, 2026 due dates). These solicitations reflect state and local focus on well construction, maintenance, remediation, and decommissioning rather than specialized formation evaluation services. The code appears misapplied to this category of work and warrants reclassification or clarification of actual UNSPSC assignment.
