UNSPSC 71122202: Slickline lifting services

Use of slickline for installation of gas lift equipment.

UNSPSC 71122202 Slickline lifting services is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not actually procure this service under the code as currently tagged; the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC number span irrigation system improvements, orphan well plugging and abandonment, municipal water well rehabilitation and construction, wastewater pump station repair, well maintenance and repair, and drainage design—none of which involve slickline lifting. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being solicited (water infrastructure and well services across multiple operational categories) suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities are tagged or a fundamental misalignment between this Commodity code and the state and local procurement activity it nominally represents.

The recent opportunities in the source are dominated by well drilling, plugging, rehabilitation, and maintenance services solicited by state environmental and oil-gas agencies, municipalities, counties, water districts, and park departments across Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Oregon, Texas, and Colorado. State-level issuing bodies—particularly the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy and the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board—drive orphan well plugging work under Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, while local water utilities and county parks departments post well drilling and maintenance RFQs and IFBs. Representative activity includes the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy prequalification RFP for oil and gas services (RFP 7612600000025221, proposals due September 22, 2026), the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board IFB for nine orphaned well plugging projects in Jasper and Jones Counties (IFB 3160008162, bids due December 18, 2026), the City of Albany Georgia sealed bid for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (PE64750NONST2027000000232, bids due November 16, 2026), and Hillsborough County Florida ITB for water well maintenance and repair services across 67 wells (ITB 2600234, estimated value $688,073 over two years, bids due June 12, 2026). Because the code designation does not match the goods and services actually being procured, no pursue decision can be made on the basis of the UNSPSC category itself.
