UNSPSC 71121808: Progressive cavity lift CVX services

Installation or service progressive cavity pumps

UNSPSC 71121808 Progressive cavity lift CVX services is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase well plugging, drilling, abandonment, and site restoration services under this code, primarily through oil and gas boards and environmental agencies managing orphaned or decommissioned wells. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy dominates recent activity, posting four direct solicitations in July 2026 for orphan gas storage well plugging across Gratiot and Montcalm counties—totaling 38 wells across four notices (DS7612600000000321, DS7612600000000322, DS7612600000000331, and DS7612600000000332), each with July 21, 2026 response deadlines. Work includes plugging, re-drilling, site restoration, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage labor, equipment rental (pole and derrick rigs, mud systems, wireline services), well casing and tubing, cementing, waste disposal, and infrastructure removal at New Haven Energy LLC wellheads. All four Michigan solicitations restrict eligibility to prequalified contractors from five prior RFPs and require attendance at mandatory pre-proposal meetings on July 9, 2026. Technical evaluation spans key personnel, business-owned equipment, company experience, and vendor questions, with an 80-point minimum threshold for award consideration on a best-value basis. Pricing must be unit-based for 68 line-item schedules with firm rates across Davis-Bacon classifications ranging from $39.57 to $41.32 per hour plus fringe benefits of $25.25 to $40.00.

The issuing-body mix is primarily state environmental and oil-and-gas agencies: the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (four solicitations), the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board (three solicitations between March and April 2026), the Texas General Land Office (high hydrogen sulfide well services in May 2026), the Railroad Commission of Texas (statewide well plugging, February 2026), and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (Union County supplemental irrigation well in June 2026). Geographic concentration is strongest in Michigan and Mississippi, with additional activity in Texas, Florida, and other states. Recent solicitations show sustained demand for orphaned well abandonment and plugging, particularly through federally funded Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act programs. The code sees moderate but consistent activity focused on compliance-driven government asset management rather than commercial market volume—a specialized, prequalified contractor space with high barriers to entry due to licensing, equipment ownership, prevailing wage compliance, and environmental regulation.
