UNSPSC 71121811: Other lift systems

Any other lifting systems used to improve well production

UNSPSC 71121811 Other lift systems (Commodity) spans the installation, maintenance, and specialized equipment used in wastewater pumping stations, irrigation systems, and water infrastructure — specifically grinder units, control systems, aeration equipment, and related mechanical assemblies state and local governments operate to move and treat fluids across utility networks. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties procuring comprehensive pump station refurbishment, replacement of grinder units with rail systems and valve assemblies, installation of proprietary aeration systems, and well-drilling and abandonment services bundled with lift station components at a widening range of sites.

Issuing bodies include county utilities departments (Gwinnett County, Seminole County, Hillsborough County), state environmental agencies (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; Illinois Department of Corrections), city public works and parks operations (Austin, Ocala, DeBary, Lubbock), special-purpose water districts (Hilldale Water District, Escambia County Waste Services), and state parks authorities. The largest recent procurement activity concentrates in Michigan (multiple direct solicitations for orphan well plugging under prequalified vendor pools), Mississippi (orphan well remediation under Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding), and Florida (pump station component replacement, well maintenance, and specialized aeration systems). Gwinnett County's Beaver Ruin Diversion Pump Station Grinders Replacements project (Bid due November 20, 2026, IFB format) calls for replacement of three grinder units with rail systems, three sets of influent and effluent slide gates with actuators, concrete wet well modifications, and electrical conduit work over 450 days; the City of Austin Parks and Recreation is rebidding well maintenance for Deep Eddy and Big Stacy pools under IFB 8600-DCG1032REBID with local business preference in the Austin Metropolitan Statistical Area and wage-theft compliance certification required. Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement for Agora Water Solutions' Wet Well Wizard aeration systems ($5.371 million estimated over five years, 60–80 units annually at $13,350 per system) signals sustained demand for proprietary equipment integration in existing infrastructure. Michigan EGLE's prequalification RFPs and direct solicitations for orphan well plugging restrict bidding to vendors awarded prior RFP contracts and impose Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and 100-point technical evaluation thresholds (key personnel, business-owned equipment, technical experience, vendor questions), with award on best value rather than lowest price. Geographic spread spans the Upper Midwest (Michigan, Illinois), Southeast (Florida, Georgia, Mississippi), and Mountain West (Colorado, Oregon, Arizona), with standout repeat activity in Michigan's Oil & Gas Services prequalifications and Mississippi's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act orphan well program. The code shows active procurement across utility maintenance contracts, capital well-construction and replacement projects, and specialized lift station rehabilitation work driven by aging infrastructure, environmental compliance, and federal stimulus funding.
