UNSPSC 71121903: Downhole fluid sampling services

Services to analyze downhole fluid samples.

UNSPSC 71121903 Downhole fluid sampling services is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no opportunities tagged to this code that reflect downhole fluid sampling work; instead, the recent solicitations involve well abandonment, orphan well plugging, well rehabilitation, well construction, and water pump station repair—activities that fall outside the nominal scope of downhole fluid sampling services used in oil and gas exploration and production.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has dominated recent activity under code tags matching this submission, issuing four direct solicitations in July 2026 for orphan gas storage well plugging and site restoration across Gratiot and Montcalm counties (DS 260000000032 through DS 260000000035, all due July 21, 2026). These procurements, however, address well abandonment and infrastructure removal rather than subsurface fluid sampling. Additional state and local opportunities in the dataset—including Sarasota County's single-family well abandonment (IFB 2026QQ759, due July 10), Seminole County's wastewater pump station repair services (ITB CC710026, due August 5), San Bernardino County's on-call well and pump maintenance (RFQ SPD126SPDAD6431, due August 31), and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' Union County irrigation well installation (IFB 26-422DNR-LNDMG-B-52982, due July 9)—similarly reflect construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance work rather than fluid sampling. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears mismatched to the work state and local governments are actually buying in the well and water infrastructure space.
