UNSPSC 71121809: Well site optimization and automation services

Installation or service of systems used to gather data for wellsite monitoring and control of production

UNSPSC 71121809 Well site optimization and automation services is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on plugging, abandonment, and site restoration of orphaned oil and gas wells—the inverse of optimization—alongside maintenance and rehabilitation services for municipal water supply wells. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy dominates recent activity, having posted four direct solicitations in July 2026 for comprehensive plugging, drilling, re-drilling, and site restoration across 38 orphaned gas storage wellheads operated by New Haven Energy LLC in Gratiot and Montcalm counties. Work includes labor (rig crews, welders, electricians, roustabout laborers, toolpushers, and equipment operators), equipment rental (pole rigs, single and double derrick configurations, well casing, tubing, and wireline services), cementing, mud engineering, waste disposal, and site restoration with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance. Water-focused work appears in parallel track from county and municipal utilities: Hillsborough County, Florida posted an ITB for a two-year water well maintenance and repair services contract estimated at $688,073 covering 67 irrigation and potable wells; Seminole County, Florida issued an invitation for bid for wastewater pump station repair and refurbishment on a master service agreement basis; San Bernardino County Department of Public Works solicited on-call well and pump maintenance services with a $2.8 million maximum contract value over five years; and Eastern Municipal Water District in California requested well maintenance and rehabilitation services on an as-needed basis with awards to multiple firms.

Michigan's orphaned well program dominates the recent activity geographically, with four solicitations due July 21, 2026 (DS7612600000000322, DS7612600000000332, DS7612600000000342, DS7612600000000352), each requiring prequalification through prior RFPs and mandatory attendance at pre-proposal meetings. Bidders must submit unit pricing for 68 line items, detailed project timelines, and technical qualifications evaluated on key personnel, business-owned equipment, technical experience, and vendor questions (25 points each, 80-point minimum for award consideration). Water well activity spreads across Florida (Seminole, Hillsborough, Sarasota, Marion, Brevard, Collier counties and the City of Palm Bay), California (Eastern Municipal Water District, San Bernardino County), and scattered single-well rehabilitation projects in Texas, Mississippi, Illinois, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Georgia. Issuing bodies are predominantly state departments and county utilities; school districts and transit authorities do not appear in the recent opportunities block. Geographic spread is heaviest in Michigan (federal orphaned-well program), Florida (multiple county utilities), and California (regional water districts), with secondary activity in Texas, Mississippi, and intermittent activity in a dozen other states. No set-aside or preference designations appear in the Michigan solicitations; Florida and California procurements note M/WBE encouragement but impose no hard set-asides.
