UNSPSC 71121806: Reciprocating rod lift services

Services to install or service reciprocating rod lift services

UNSPSC 71121806 Reciprocating rod lift services, a Commodity code, encompasses well abandonment, plugging, and rehabilitation services that state and local water utilities, environmental agencies, and special districts procure to decommission orphaned or aging wells, restore production wells to operational capacity, and comply with environmental remediation requirements. Recent solicitations show Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy leading activity with four direct solicitations for orphan gas storage well plugging across Gratiot and Montcalm counties (totaling 38 wells), with responses due July 21, 2026, alongside Florida counties and municipalities issuing bids for well maintenance, wastewater pump station rehabilitation, and water treatment plant construction. State environmental agencies, county utilities departments, municipal water systems, and regional water districts solicit under this code; Michigan's EGLE is a standout repeat buyer issuing multiple prequalified-contractor-only direct solicitations for gas storage well plugging funded by federal cleanup dollars. Work being procured includes orphan well plugging and site restoration (Michigan's four July 2026 solicitations for gas storage wells), municipal water well maintenance and repair (Hillsborough County, Florida's $688,073 two-year contract for 67 wells; Seminole County's pump station R&R services; San Bernardino County's $2.8 million five-year on-call well and pump maintenance), production well construction (Marion County, Florida's four new potable wells; Palm Bay's four NRO production wells), and specialized rehabilitation such as mechanical brushing, chemical treatment, and video logging (Eastern Municipal Water District's RFP 3931 for well maintenance in Riverside County, California).

Geographic concentration is strongest in Michigan (four recent orphan gas well plugging solicitations through EGLE), Florida (Hillsborough, Seminole, Sarasota, Marion, Collier counties and Palm Bay), Texas (Union County irrigation well, Lubbock water treatment design), California (San Bernardino County on-call services, Eastern Municipal Water District), Mississippi (three oil and gas board orphan well initiatives), and Georgia (Helen monitoring well, McIntosh County deep well). The issuing-body mix spans state environmental departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Texas RRC, Illinois DNR), county utilities (Hillsborough, Seminole, Marion, Collier in Florida; San Bernardino in California; Volusia, Sarasota in Florida), and municipal water systems (Palm Bay, Lubbock, Helen, Santa Cruz, Bend, Pendleton, Austin, Watertown). Representative recent opportunities include Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy direct solicitations DS7612600000000322, DS7612600000000332, DS7612600000000342, and DS7612600000000352 (three to fourteen orphan wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties, proposals due July 21, 2026, prequalified bidders only under prior RFPs 210000000834, 220000000547, 220000001850, 220000002631, and 240000000951, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages with unit pricing for 68 line items); Hillsborough County ITB 26-00234 for water well maintenance and repair services at 67 irrigation and potable wells, sealed bids due June 12, 2026, $688,073 estimated value; and Seminole County's master service agreement for wastewater pump station repair and refurbishment (CC710026, responses due August 5, 2026), requiring 51% self-performance, 24-hour emergency response, and technical experience across 18 scopes of work. Procurement activity is active and concentrated in environmental remediation (orphan oil and gas wells under federal IIJA funding) and municipal water infrastructure rehabilitation, with Michigan's prequalified-contractor model and federal funding through the Orphaned Wells Program driving near-term opportunity.
