UNSPSC 71121608: Well drilling contract development services

Services to help develop and structure a contracts for drilling a well.

UNSPSC 71121608 Well drilling contract development services is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure well drilling, plugging, abandonment, and rehabilitation services under this code—both for routine maintenance of municipal water supply infrastructure and for specialized work such as orphan oil and gas well remediation funded through federal environmental grants. Recent solicitations show governments buying plugging and site restoration for decommissioned wells, new production well construction to support water systems, pump installation and well development, and engineering design services for aquifer storage and recovery and treatment plant expansion projects.

Issuing bodies span state environmental and natural resources departments, municipal water utilities, county water authorities, and independent water districts across diverse geographies. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has issued multiple direct solicitations (posted July 2026) for orphan gas well plugging in Gratiot County, each with July 21 response dates and mandatory pre-proposal meetings—indicating an active state remediation program. Seminole County (Florida) and Hillsborough County (Florida) issued master service agreements for wastewater pump station repair and water well maintenance respectively; Sarasota County (Florida) sought single well abandonment services; and municipal water utilities in Lubbock (Texas), Bend (Oregon), Palm Bay (Florida), Pascagoula (Mississippi), and Pendleton (Oregon) solicited design, construction, or rehabilitation services for production wells. The Texas General Land Office, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, and Illinois Department of Natural Resources have all posted orphan well plugging procurements, reflecting federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding flowing through state energy and environmental agencies. The Eastern Municipal Water District (California) issued RFP 3931 for on-call well maintenance with proposals due April 23, 2026, seeking multiple qualified contractors with five years' experience and specific California licenses (C-57, C-61/D-21, Class A). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Michigan, Texas, Mississippi, California, and the Pacific Northwest, with federal-grant-funded orphan well remediation driving solicitations in energy-producing states and routine water system maintenance distributed nationwide.
