UNSPSC 71121810: Electronic submersible pump lifting services

Installation or service of downhole pump that is electrically driven

UNSPSC 71121810 Electronic submersible pump lifting services, a Commodity code, encompasses the plugging, abandonment, and site restoration of orphaned oil and gas wells—particularly gas storage wellheads with orbit valves—where contractors mobilize drilling rigs, rig crews, and specialized well-service equipment to remove well fluids, install cement plugs, perform wireline operations, and restore sites to baseline conditions. State and local governments rarely procure this code directly; instead, state environmental and natural resources agencies—particularly Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy—issue the bulk of recent opportunities under orphan-well-remediation programs funded through federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act grants. County water authorities and municipal utilities also solicit related services for routine well abandonment, pump replacement, and maintenance at lower technical complexity and cost.

Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy dominated recent activity, posting four direct solicitations in July 2026 for orphan gas storage well plugging across Gratiot and Montcalm counties (covering 38 wells total: 3 at New Haven Section 3, 14 at Section 4, 9 at Sections 31–33, and 12 at Sections 5–10 and Plank 1–1). All four—posted July 16, 2026 with July 21, 2026 response dates—required prequalification through prior RFPs and mandatory attendance at a July 9, 2026 pre-proposal meeting; bidders submitted unit pricing matrices covering 68 line items (labor by Davis-Bacon classification, rig and drilling equipment, casing and tubing rental, mud engineering, wireline services, waste disposal, heavy equipment operations, and site restoration), with evaluation weighted equally across key personnel (25 points), business-owned equipment (25 points), technical experience (25 points), and vendor questions worksheet (25 points), and a minimum 80-point threshold required for award consideration. Beyond Michigan, Sarasota County (Florida) issued an RFQ for single-property well abandonment at 949 Ponder Avenue with a $50,000 ceiling and July 10, 2026 deadline, and San Bernardino County (California) sought on-call well and pump maintenance contractors with a $2.8 million five-year contract cap and August 31, 2026 proposal deadline. Illinois Department of Natural Resources solicited a supplemental irrigation well installation and pump system for Union County State Fish and Wildlife Area under a small-business set-aside with bids due July 9, 2026 (extended from July 2). The code sees sporadic activity beyond these direct well-abandonment procurements: wastewater pump station repair and maintenance contracts (Seminole County, Florida) and water treatment plant and deep-well design projects (Lubbock, Texas; Sarasota County) carry related elements but diverge in scope and technical profile. Activity clusters in the Southeast and Midwest, with Michigan showing the strongest sustained pipeline for orphan-well remediation work under state remediation programs.
