UNSPSC 71121624: Well drilling pipe threading

Creating threads on drill pipe ends.

UNSPSC 71121624 Well drilling pipe threading is a Commodity code representing specialized materials and threading services for oil and gas well construction and abandonment work. State and local government procurement under this code focuses on orphan well plugging, remediation, and reclamation projects—primarily through departments of environmental quality, oil and gas boards, water districts, and county utilities. The work involves supplying threaded well casing, tubing, and related drilling pipe materials needed to plug abandoned or orphaned oil and gas wells to regulatory standards, as well as water well drilling, installation, maintenance, and rehabilitation in municipal water systems. Recent solicitations reflect heavy federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Orphan Well Program, with prevailing wage requirements and Build America, Buy America Act compliance mandated across projects.

State and local issuing bodies include state departments of environment and energy (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), county utilities departments (Seminole County, Hillsborough County, Sarasota County, Escambia County), municipal water utilities (City of Albany Georgia, City of Wrens Georgia, City of Pascagoula Mississippi, City of Austin), water districts (Hilldale Water District Mississippi, Boulder County Parks and Open Space), and state parks agencies (Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department). Michigan EGLE appears as a repeat buyer across multiple quarterly prequalification rounds and direct solicitations for orphan well work. Geographic activity centers on Michigan (multiple New Haven Energy orphan well packages in Gratiot and Montcalm Counties), Mississippi (multiple orphan well plugging projects), Florida (water well and pump station work across multiple counties), Georgia (water well construction), and scattered activity in Texas, Oregon, Colorado, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (due December 18, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid October 22, 2026), the Michigan EGLE's direct solicitation for the Gilbert orphan well in Kent County (due July 21, 2026, federally funded under IIJA), the City of Albany Georgia's sealed bid for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (due November 16, 2026), Hillsborough County's ITB for water well maintenance and repair services across 67 county wells ($688,073 estimated value over two years, due June 12, 2026), and Boulder County's RFP for stock water well installation on agricultural properties ($350,000 contract value, due September 4, 2026). Activity is robust and geographically dispersed, with orphan well work concentrated in federally funded infrastructure programs and routine municipal water well maintenance ongoing across multiple states.
