UNSPSC 71121705: Oilfield pipe recovery service

Services to bypass or drill a section parallel to the original well.

UNSPSC 71121705 Oilfield pipe recovery service is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities present in the source. The opportunities tagged to this code span water infrastructure work—well drilling, well abandonment, pump station repairs, irrigation system improvements, and orphan gas well plugging—none of which involves oilfield pipe recovery as the code name suggests. State and local governments are not soliciting oilfield pipe recovery services under this code; instead, the tagged opportunities reflect municipal water supply, wastewater treatment, and environmental remediation activities that fall outside the nominal scope of oilfield services.

The issuing bodies include state environmental agencies (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; Illinois Department of Corrections), county governments (Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Sarasota County, Gwinnett County, Escambia County, Kent County), municipalities (City of DeBary, City of Albany, City of Bend, City of Austin, City of Ocala, City of Reynolds, City of Wrens, City of Pascagoula, City of Lubbock), special districts (Hilldale Water District, Boulder County Parks and Open Space), and state parks authorities (Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department). Recent activity concentrates in Florida (DeBary, Sarasota, Hillsborough, Seminole, Escambia counties), Georgia (Albany, Reynolds, Wrens), Michigan (multiple orphan well projects in Gratiot and Montcalm counties), Mississippi (Pascagoula, Jasper, Jones counties), and scattered locations in Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Colorado. Representative recent opportunities include the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for orphan well plugging, remediation, and reclamation of nine wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (bids due December 18, 2026); the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's direct solicitations for orphan well plugging at multiple sites in Gratiot County (proposals due July 21, 2026); the City of Albany's sealed bid for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (bids due November 16, 2026); and Hillsborough County's ITB for water well maintenance and repair services at 67 irrigation and potable water wells statewide ($688,073 estimated value, bids due June 12, 2026).
