UNSPSC 71122112: Multizone sand control services

It is common practice to design a well completion in such a way as to combine more than one operation together to improve economics of the over well completion. This involves design of a bottom hole assembly.

UNSPSC 71122112 Multizone sand control services, a Commodity code, encompasses plugging and abandonment of orphaned oil and gas wells, site restoration, and related well remediation work that state and local governments—primarily state environmental and natural resources departments—are procuring to address legacy well infrastructure. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy dominates recent activity, issuing four separate direct solicitations in July 2026 for orphan gas storage well plugging across Gratiot and Montcalm Counties, collectively covering 38 wells operated by New Haven Energy LLC. Work being solicited includes comprehensive plugging services (site prep, mobilization, drilling, cementing, wireline operations, waste disposal, and site restoration) with unit pricing across 68 standardized line items, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance, and best-value contract awards based on technical qualifications (key personnel, business-owned equipment, technical experience, and vendor responses) rather than lowest price. All four Michigan procurements imposed prequalification filters restricting bidders to those previously awarded contracts through five named prior RFPs and required attendance at mandatory pre-proposal meetings on July 9, 2026, with proposals due July 21, 2026.

Recent activity is geographically concentrated in Michigan, with secondary activity in Mississippi (three separate orphan well plugging procurements issued by the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board for wells across six counties, all funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's Orphaned Wells Program). Illinois, Texas, and other states have issued fewer recent opportunities under this code in the immediate window. Representative recent procurements include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy direct solicitation DS7612600000000322 for three wells in Gratiot County (response due July 21, 2026, IFB format with 68 line-item pricing matrix and Davis-Bacon requirements) and the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board IFB 3160007967 for seven orphaned wells across five Mississippi counties (response due May 11, 2026, requiring five years' prior experience, $1–$4 million insurance minimums, and federal IIJA funding compliance). The code shows robust activity in federally funded orphan well remediation programs but limited crossover into traditional sand control or other multizone services that the UNSPSC name suggests.
