UNSPSC 71121604: Coiled tubing drilling services

Services using coiled tubing with downhole mud motors to turn the bit to deepen a wellbore.

UNSPSC 71121604 Coiled tubing drilling services is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. Of the 50+ recent opportunities tagged to this code, the vast majority involve water well installation, rehabilitation, abandonment, and maintenance; irrigation system upgrades; wastewater pump station repair; and orphan oil and gas well plugging under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding. Only a handful of solicitations—primarily Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy orphan well plugging awards and direct solicitations—directly address oil and gas drilling operations. State and local issuing bodies using this code include water utilities and departments (cities of DeBary, Albany, Reynolds, Wrens, and Pascagoula; Hillsborough and Seminole Counties; Hilldale Water District), state environmental or natural resources agencies (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Illinois Department of Natural Resources), county waste and parks departments, and special districts across Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, Illinois, Colorado, Oregon, Texas, and California.

Recent opportunities show a geographic concentration in Michigan (multiple orphan well plugging projects through EGLE), Mississippi (orphan well remediation by the Oil and Gas Board), and Florida (water well and pump station work by county utilities). Representative solicitations include the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for nine orphaned well plugging, remediation, and reclamation services in Jasper and Jones Counties (bids due December 18, 2026), the Michigan EGLE prequalification RFP for orphan well plugging and site restoration services statewide across the Lower Peninsula (proposals due September 22, 2026), and Hillsborough County's ITB for a two-year water well maintenance and repair services contract estimated at $688,073 covering 67 irrigation and potable water wells (bids due June 12, 2026). The code shows strong recent activity in orphan well plugging under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, Build America Buy America compliance mandates, and prequalification-restricted vendor pools; water well construction and maintenance; and wastewater pump station rehabilitation—none of which align with the abstract code name of coiled tubing drilling. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement practice under this classification.
