UNSPSC 71121812: Gas lift Services

Services to inject gas to increase well production

UNSPSC 71121812 Gas Lift Services (Commodity) encompasses plugging, remediation, and site restoration of orphaned oil and gas wells, including gas storage wellheads. State and local governments buy well abandonment services, site reclamation, infrastructure removal, and associated environmental compliance under this code, though the recent activity shows the code is being applied primarily to orphaned well programs funded through federal infrastructure grants rather than routine commercial gas lift operations as the abstract name might suggest.

The issuing bodies are state-level oil and gas regulatory agencies and state departments of natural resources, supplemented by county and municipal water utilities procuring incidental well services. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy dominates recent activity, issuing four concurrent direct solicitations in July 2026 for orphan well plugging across Gratiot and Montcalm counties totaling 38 wells operated by New Haven Energy LLC. The Mississippi Oil and Gas Board and Texas General Land Office are also active. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Michigan (38 wells across four July 2026 direct solicitations), with secondary activity in Mississippi (multiple orphan well RFPs and ITBs from March through April 2026) and Texas (statewide well plugging RFQ). Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy direct solicitation DS7612600000000322 for three orphan wells in Gratiot County (due July 21, 2026, prequalified-bidder-only ITB format requiring attendance at mandatory pre-bid meeting July 9, 2026, 68-line-item Schedule B unit pricing, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance); the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board IFB 3160007967 for seven orphaned oil and gas wells across five counties (due May 11, 2026, comprehensive plugging and site reclamation on turnkey basis, five-year experience minimum); and the Texas General Land Office RFQ 455-26-1020 for high hydrogen sulfide well services statewide (due May 5, 2026, unit-rate pricing, HUB set-aside consideration).
