UNSPSC 71121612: Well drilling of water intake well services

UNSPSC 71121612 Well drilling of water intake well services is a Commodity code encompassing the drilling, installation, rehabilitation, and abandonment of water supply wells and related monitoring or exploratory boreholes for state and local water utilities, parks departments, corrections facilities, and other public entities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring well drilling and rehabilitation across multiple service lines: new production wells (350–1,000 GPM capacity), existing well rehabilitation and casing repair, orphaned or abandoned well plugging under federal infrastructure programs, and specialized services including video survey, pump replacement, and chemical feed system integration. The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed municipal water systems, county water authorities, state environmental agencies managing orphan well remediation, regional parks departments, university facilities, and corrections departments operating their own water infrastructure.

Recent activity concentrates in the Midwest and South, with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy issuing multiple direct solicitations for orphan well plugging across Gratiot, Montcalm, and Kent Counties under federally funded Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act programs; the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board procuring similar orphan well remediation in Jasper, Jones, Adams, and Walthall Counties; and southern municipalities—particularly in Georgia and Florida—soliciting new production wells, rehabilitation, and maintenance contracts.
