UNSPSC 71121605: Well completion planning services

Services to plan how to optimize the production of hydrocarbons from the well. Ranges from packer on tubing services above an openhole completion to a systems of mechanical filtering elements outside of perforated pipe, to intelligent well completion.

UNSPSC 71121605 Well completion planning services, a Commodity code, encompasses the planning, design, and engineering services that state and local governments procure to prepare for the construction, rehabilitation, and abandonment of water supply, irrigation, and orphaned oil and gas wells. Recent activity shows state and local buyers using this code primarily to solicit engineering design, feasibility analysis, and pre-construction planning for well projects across multiple utility sectors, including potable water systems, wastewater pump stations, aquifer storage and recovery facilities, and orphaned well remediation programs funded through federal infrastructure grants.

The recent opportunities reveal a diverse issuing-body mix spanning state environmental and natural resources 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 departments (Marion County, Collier County, Hillsborough County, Seminole County in Florida; San Bernardino County in California), municipal water utilities (City of Lubbock, City of Watertown, City of Bend, Eastern Municipal Water District, City of Pendleton), and special-purpose water authorities. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy dominates recent activity with four direct solicitations posted in July 2026 for orphan well plugging and site restoration in Gratiot and Montcalm counties—DS 260000000032, DS 260000000033, DS 260000000034, and DS 260000000035—all with proposals due July 21, 2026, under RFQ format with mandatory pre-bid attendance. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida (Seminole, Sarasota, Marion, Collier, and Hillsborough counties), Michigan (Gratiot and Montcalm), and California (Riverside and San Bernardino), with secondary activity across Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's four-project orphan well plugging initiative targeting prequalified contractors with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance (projects involving 3, 14, 9, and 12 wells respectively, all due July 21, 2026); Seminole County Board of County Commissioners' invitation for bids (CC-7100-26) for wastewater pump station maintenance, repair, and equipment renewal services requiring demonstrated experience across 18 defined scope items and due August 5, 2026; and the City of Lubbock's RFQ (26-19719-KM) for professional engineering design services on the Water Treatment Plant Lake 7 Supply Project due July 2, 2026, on a qualifications-based-selection basis with no pricing component.
