UNSPSC 71121517: Asset integrity management services

Asset Integrity Management (AIM) is the practice of managing an asset (power plant, oil platform, pipelines, refinery, etc.) to ensure its ability to perform its function effectively and efficiently.

UNSPSC 71121517 Asset integrity management services, a Commodity code, encompasses water well drilling, plugging, abandonment, maintenance, and related infrastructure repair that state and local governments procure to maintain or retire water supply and irrigation systems. State and local buyers solicit under this code to install new wells, rehabilitate damaged or aging wells, plug orphaned oil and gas wells under federal remediation programs, perform video surveys and casing repairs, conduct pump maintenance across multiple facilities, and manage wastewater pump stations. City departments, county utilities authorities, state environmental agencies, water districts, and special-purpose park and recreation districts issue opportunities across this code. The work spans routine maintenance contracts covering multiple wells over years to project-specific drilling and plugging for individual wells or small clusters, often bundled with ancillary infrastructure like chemical feed systems, electrical controls, or site restoration.

Recent activity clusters in Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, driven partly by federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding for orphaned well remediation. Representative opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy prequalification RFP for oil and gas well plugging services (RFP 7612600000025221, proposals due September 22, 2026) with five awarded contractors totaling $800,000 over one year and five months; the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board IFB for plugging nine orphaned wells across two counties (IFB 3160008162, bids due December 18, 2026); Hillsborough County's ITB for water well maintenance and repair across 67 county wells (ITB 26-00234, $688,073 estimated value, bids due June 12, 2026); the City of Albany, Georgia RFQ for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (Solicitation PE64750NONST2027000000232, bids due November 16, 2026); and Seminole County's master service agreement for wastewater pump station maintenance, repair, and equipment renewal (Project CC-7100-26, bids due June 17, 2026). Illinois Department of Corrections and state fish and wildlife programs regularly solicit video surveys and well casing repair. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and Build America, Buy America Act compliance govern federally funded orphan well projects. Most contracts require current state water well contractor licensure, proof of insurance with $1–2 million general liability minimums, and demonstrated experience on similar municipal infrastructure projects.
