UNSPSC 71122200: Slickline services

Services using slickline for selective placement and retrieval of wellbore hardware.

UNSPSC 71122200 Slickline services (Class) shows little recent activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The ten recent solicitations posted between May and October 2026 span water well drilling, construction, rehabilitation, plugging, abandonment, maintenance, pump station repair, and irrigation system installation—work that sits outside the oil and gas well servicing focus that slickline operations typically support. State and local buyers acquiring well-related services in the recent record include municipal water departments (City of Albany, Georgia; City of Wrens, Georgia; City of Reynold, Georgia; Hillsborough County, Florida; Sarasota County, Florida; San Bernardino County, California), state environmental and energy agencies (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), county utilities departments (Seminole County, Florida; Gwinnett County, Georgia), water districts (Hilldale Water District, Mississippi), and state parks and wildlife departments (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department; Illinois Department of Natural Resources). A small subset of opportunities involve orphan oil and gas well plugging under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, notably the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's multiple direct solicitations for well plugging and remediation across Adams, Walthall, and Jasper counties (IFB RFx No. 3160008162, due December 18, 2026; IFB RFx No. 3160008150, due August 28, 2026) and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's closed-competition direct solicitations for plugging at multiple orphan well sites in Kent, Gratiot, and Montcalm counties (proposals due July 21, 2026). Geographic concentration appears strongest in Florida, Michigan, Mississippi, Georgia, and California, with scattered activity in Texas, Illinois, Colorado, and Oregon. Water well construction and maintenance contracts dominate the visible record, with well rehabilitation (City of Albany RFQ PE64750NONST2027000000232, due November 16, 2026), new well drilling (Boulder County RFP-300-26, due September 4, 2026; Oregon Parks and Recreation Department ITB #14709, due November 2, 2026), and emergency well casing survey and repair services (Illinois Department of Corrections multiple quoted-price solicitations) representing representative recent work. The code's alignment with state and local procurement appears tangential at best; the UNSPSC classification may be a cataloging artifact rather than a descriptor of material being actively bought under this code tier.
