UNSPSC 71122114: Sand control temporary isolation services

Any service or tool that will allow isolation of one productive zone while another zone is being treated. This is typical for multi-zone completions.

UNSPSC 71122114 Sand control temporary isolation services is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely solicit under this nominal title. Instead, the recent activity shows substantial procurement for orphan well plugging, abandonment, and site restoration across multiple jurisdictions, along with water well maintenance, repair, construction, and rehabilitation services. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy dominates recent activity, issuing four direct solicitations in July 2026 for plugging and site restoration of 38 orphan gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties—three solicitations due July 21, 2026 (DS 260000000032 for three wells, DS 260000000033 for 14 wells, DS 260000000035 for nine wells), all requiring prequalification through prior RFPs and mandatory attendance at July 9 pre-bid meetings. Beyond Michigan, the code shows activity in Florida (Seminole County and Sarasota County issuing RFQs and RFBs for wastewater pump station maintenance and well abandonment), Mississippi (two separate well plugging procurements from the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), Illinois (Union County SFWA well and pump installation under a small-business set-aside), and Texas (orphan well services from the General Land Office). A smaller volume of work involves new potable water well construction (Marion County, Florida; Palm Bay, Florida; and Santa Cruz, California) and well rehabilitation services (Watertown, Wisconsin; Eastern Municipal Water District, California; and Volusia County, Florida). Issuers include state environmental and natural resources departments, county commissioners, cities, special districts, and regional water authorities.

The geographic spread centers on the upper Midwest and the South, with Michigan, Mississippi, and Florida showing the highest recent density of solicitation activity. Illinois, Texas, California, Georgia, and Oregon also appear in the recent record. The code's true scope is well and groundwater infrastructure—plugging and decommissioning of orphan oil and gas wells funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, routine maintenance and repair of municipal water supply wells, construction of new potable water wells to AWWA standards, emergency response services, and aquifer testing and hydrogeological consulting. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements apply to federally funded work, and prequalification through prior RFPs is now standard for Michigan orphan well contracts. The volume of orphan well activity—particularly Michigan's 38-well pipeline and multiple Mississippi procurements—signals that federal orphaned wells funding has activated sustained demand; smaller municipalities and counties also remain steady buyers of water well services, though volumes and contract values vary widely. Set-asides and preferences remain jurisdiction-specific; Michigan considers service-disabled veteran-owned status, Illinois requires small-business registration, and multiple southern states apply HUBZONE or equivalent designations.
