UNSPSC 71121638: Well drilling pipe cleaning service

Cleaning service to remove rust, scale, cement and drilling fluids. This can be achieved via air rattling, outside and inside diameter brushing or by a hydro blasting system

UNSPSC 71121638 Well drilling pipe cleaning service is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's nominal scope — pipe cleaning during well drilling — appears in none of the most recent solicitations. Instead, state and local bodies are procuring well-drilling, well-plugging, well abandonment, well-casing repair, pump maintenance, well rehabilitation, and related infrastructure work that sits at a higher tier of well-development and site-restoration services. The mismatch between the code definition and actual buying signals suggests either a data tagging error in the source material or that this code is not in active use by state and local procurement offices for current well-related work.

Recent opportunities do show active state and local buying in orphan-well plugging and abandonment (the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), water-supply well construction and rehabilitation (City of Reynolds, Georgia; City of Albany, Georgia; Hilldale Water District, Mississippi; City of Wrens, Georgia), well maintenance and monitoring (City of Austin Parks and Recreation; Hillsborough County, Florida; Illinois Department of Corrections; Escambia County, Florida), and pump-station repair (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Seminole County, Florida). These solicitations span the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Colorado, Texas, and South Carolina. No recent opportunities in this block are tagged to UNSPSC 71121638 or concern well-drilling pipe cleaning specifically.
