UNSPSC 71121618: Well drilling other general services

Includes h2s services.

UNSPSC 71121618 Well drilling other general services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments solicit drilling, plugging, abandonment, testing, maintenance, and repair services for water supply wells, monitoring wells, exploratory wells, stock water wells, and orphan oil and gas wells. Recent activity shows government buyers treating the code to encompass not only new well construction but also well rehabilitation, video surveys, casing repair, aquifer testing, and site restoration following well closure—work that spans municipal water departments, state environmental and energy agencies, county utilities, transit and park authorities, and special-purpose water management districts.

Issuing bodies include state departments of environmental quality and natural resources, municipalities and county governments, water management districts, regional park authorities, and state parks operations. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy appears repeatedly as a high-volume buyer of orphan oil and gas well plugging and remediation services under prequalification frameworks and direct solicitations. Municipal water utilities in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and other states solicit well construction and rehabilitation through competitive sealed bids and RFQs. Procurement bodies range from single-well projects at small towns to multi-well packages across regions. Geographic activity concentrates in Michigan (orphan gas wells), Florida (monitoring wells and water supply), Georgia (municipal water wells), Mississippi (orphan well plugging), and Texas (water infrastructure), with additional activity in Colorado, Oregon, Illinois, and Maryland. Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's award of five prequalified contractors (Lease Management Inc., M&A Energy Services LLC, NuPointe Energy LLC, Plants and Goodwin Inc., and Team Services LLC) for orphan well plugging services statewide under an RFP closing October 13, 2026, with combined award value of $800,000; the City of Albany, Georgia's IFB for Well No. 21 rehabilitation due November 16, 2026; the Northwest Florida Water Management District's award to A C Schultes of Florida dba Rowe Drilling at $691,520 for well construction and aquifer testing in Bay County under ITB 26B-003; the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for plugging, remediation, and reclamation of nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties due December 18, 2026; and Boulder County Parks and Open Space's RFP for installation of six stock water wells on two agricultural properties due September 4, 2026 at a contract value of $350,000. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements apply to federally funded orphan well work; American Iron and Steel and Build America, Buy America Act compliance mandates appear in water infrastructure projects funded through state and federal revolving loan funds.
