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 — does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under this classification. The source reveals a fundamental mismatch: the code's nominal scope covers planning and design work for oil and gas well completion, but recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code instead procure concrete well construction, repair, abandonment, and maintenance services across water supply, irrigation, and wastewater infrastructure. Representative recent activity includes the City of DeBary's irrigation system replacement bid (IFB, $90,000 estimated cost, completion by April 10, 2015), the State of Michigan's orphan oil and gas well plugging awards (prequalification RFP, five vendors awarded, $800,000 total contract value), the City of Albany's well rehabilitation bid (RFQ, due November 16, 2026), and the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's nine-well plugging IFB (due December 18, 2026, federal funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act). Issuing bodies span state environmental and energy departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), municipalities (Albany, DeBary, Ocala, Reynolds, Wrens), counties (Sarasota, Escambia, Seminole, Gwinnett), water districts (Hillsborough County, Hilldale Water District), and park and recreation authorities (Boulder County, Oregon Parks and Recreation, Texas Parks and Wildlife).

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (multiple irrigation and well maintenance bids across Hillsborough, Sarasota, Escambia Counties, and cities in Marion County), Michigan (orphan well plugging prequalification and direct solicitations in Gratiot, Kent, and Montcalm Counties), Georgia (well construction and rehabilitation bids in Reynolds and Albany), and Mississippi (oil and gas orphan well plugging bids). Secondary activity appears in Colorado (stock well installation RFP), Texas (water treatment plant design services), Oregon (state park water supply well replacement ITB), and Illinois (corrections facility well survey and repair). The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity aligned to well completion planning; the opportunities posted reflect construction execution and maintenance services instead. State and local buyers do not appear to solicit planning or design services under this code — they procure completed infrastructure and ongoing service delivery. Vendors pursuing activity in this space should track water infrastructure, wastewater utility, and orphan well remediation solicitations issued by state energy and environmental agencies and municipal water utilities, not planning-phase procurement.
