UNSPSC 71121622: Well drilling pickup or laydown service

Services to pickup and/or laydown casing and/or drill pipe at the rig site.

UNSPSC 71121622 Well drilling pickup or laydown service is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure well-related work under this code but the actual solicitations show significant divergence from the code's nominal scope — the recent opportunities are driven by infrastructure repair, replacement, and abandonment activity rather than pickup or laydown services. Work ranges from orphan oil and gas well plugging (Michigan, Mississippi) to municipal water well replacement and rehabilitation (Georgia, Texas, Florida) to irrigation system improvements and exploratory drilling (Florida, Colorado). Issuing bodies include state environmental and energy departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), municipalities and counties (DeBary FL, Albany GA, Reynolds GA, Wrens GA, Pascagoula MS, Lubbock TX, Austin TX, Ocala FL, Bend OR), water utilities, park departments, special districts, and state fish and wildlife agencies. Florida and Michigan dominate recent postings; Mississippi, Georgia, Colorado, and Texas each show multiple opportunities. The code shows active procurement across environmental remediation, water supply infrastructure, and agricultural water development.

Recent solicitations include the State of Michigan's direct solicitation for the Gilbert Orphan Well Plugging Project in Kent County (DS 7612600000000421, proposals due October 12, 2026) covering well plugging, drilling, re-drilling, and site restoration with prequalified vendors only; the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for plugging and remediation of nine orphaned oil and gas wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (IFB RFx No. 3160008162, bids due December 18, 2026, mandatory pre-bid October 22, 2026) requiring individual plugging plans, five years of experience, and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance; the City of Albany, Georgia's sealed bid for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (Bid Ref. 27-032, bids due November 16, 2026) covering assessment, repair, and testing; and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department's ITB for Silver Falls State Park water supply well replacement (ITB #14709, bids due November 2, 2026, pre-bid October 13, 2026) including drilling, casing installation, pump installation, and well development. Michigan's prequalification RFP for oil and gas services (RFP 260000002522, awards issued October 12, 2026 with five awardees at $100,000–$200,000 each) supports rolling project-specific solicitations.
