UNSPSC 71121634: Oilfield hull systems services

UNSPSC 71121634 Oilfield hull systems services is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily for orphan well plugging, abandonment, and site restoration services. Recent solicitations show the code capturing comprehensive well abandonment work including drilling, well plugging, casing installation, cementing, wireline services, waste disposal, heavy equipment operations, and full site reclamation across multiple states. The work encompasses labor across multiple classifications (roustabouts, toolpushers, operators, welders, electricians, cementing crews), specialized equipment rental (pole rigs, derrick rigs, drilling equipment), well materials (casing, tubing, plugging cement), and environmental remediation. State departments and county governments dominate recent activity, particularly environmental and natural resources agencies managing legacy oil and gas infrastructure, alongside specialized water utilities and engineering-driven municipal procurement. Issuing bodies include state departments of environmental quality and energy, county oil and gas boards, municipal water utilities, and special-purpose districts.

Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has posted four direct solicitations in July 2026 for plugging and site restoration of 38 orphan gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties—covering three to fourteen wells per solicitation with response dates of July 21, 2026 and mandatory pre-proposal meetings on July 9, 2026—all requiring prequalification through prior RFPs and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance. Mississippi Oil and Gas Board has issued multiple IFBs for orphan well plugging in Mississippi counties, with contracts for three to seven wells per solicitation and response dates ranging from April 13 through May 11, 2026. Texas General Land Office and Railroad Commission have solicited H2S well services and statewide well plugging across Texas oil and gas fields. Illinois Department of Natural Resources and state departments in Florida, California, and Wisconsin have solicited well construction, improvement, and rehabilitation services for water supply and environmental monitoring wells, distinct from but parallel to oil and gas abandonment work. Geographic concentration is strongest in Michigan (seven wells through October 2026), Mississippi (ten wells through May 2027), and Texas oil and gas regions, with secondary activity in the Great Lakes states, Florida, and the Pacific Northwest. Federal infrastructure funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's Orphaned Wells Program and IIJA drives much current activity, imposing Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy American materials, and federal compliance requirements across solicitations.
