UNSPSC 71122107: Fracturing fluid sand control services

Placing sand in the wellbore and formation with above fracturing pressure.

UNSPSC 71122107 Fracturing fluid sand control services is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy well plugging, abandonment, and site restoration services under this code—work that addresses orphaned, failed, or decommissioned oil, gas, and water wells across extraction, injection, and storage applications. Recent solicitations reflect comprehensive well remediation including drilling, casing installation, cementing, wireline services, waste disposal, site preparation and restoration, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage labor, and equipment rental. The work spans both emergency response and planned infrastructure abandonment, often funded through federal orphan well programs or municipally chartered water and utility departments managing aging groundwater infrastructure.

State and local issuing bodies include state departments of natural resources and environmental quality (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; Texas General Land Office; Illinois Department of Natural Resources), county and municipal utility departments (Seminole County, Marion County, Collier County, Hillsborough County in Florida; San Bernardino County and Riverside County in California), city water departments (Lubbock, Santa Cruz, Palm Bay, Bend, Watertown), and special-purpose districts (Eastern Municipal Water District). Recent Michigan solicitations dominate the activity block—the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy posted four direct solicitations in July 2026 (DS7612600000000322, DS7612600000000332, DS7612600000000352, DS7612600000000342) for orphan well plugging across 38 gas storage wells in Gratiot and Montcalm counties, each requiring 68-line-item unit pricing schedules, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance, and technical scoring on key personnel, business-owned equipment, technical experience, and vendor questions (minimum 80 points required for award; best value, not lowest price). Sarasota County issued an RFQ on July 2, 2026 (2026QQ759) for single-well abandonment at a residential property with a $50,000 ceiling and July 10 response deadline; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board issued multiple orphan well plugging ITBs (3160007881, 3160007966, 3160007967) with April and May 2026 deadlines and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding; and Hillsborough County, Florida issued ITB 26-00234 on May 19, 2026 for water well maintenance and repair services ($688,073 estimated value over two years). Geographic activity concentrates in Michigan, Florida, Mississippi, California, Texas, and Georgia; wells range from 35 feet to 1,850 feet depth; and issuing bodies increasingly use prequalification vehicles, mandatory pre-bid attendance, and best-value selection favoring technical approach and equipment adequacy over lowest price alone.
