UNSPSC 71122203: Slickline manipulation services

Services to reset or operate the slickline.

UNSPSC 71122203 Slickline manipulation services is a Commodity code that state and local governments have not actively procured under this code designation in recent solicitations. The recent opportunities block contains only a single tangential reference—a Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy solicitation for orphan well plugging and site restoration that names wireline services as one line item within a much broader scope spanning site supervision, rig operations, equipment rental, cementing, waste disposal, and site restoration. The code itself names slickline manipulation—a specialized downhole service commonly used in oil and gas well intervention, remedial work, and selective perforation—but the state and local record shows no standalone slickline-services procurements or dedicated vendor contracts under this code in the current active window.

State and local governments soliciting well-related work—including well plugging, abandonment, rehabilitation, maintenance, construction, and testing—appear to be tagging those opportunities with broader codes spanning drilling, equipment rental, and general construction services, or with municipal water and wastewater facility codes. The Michigan orphan well contracts (four direct solicitations issued by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy in July 2026 covering 26 total wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties) do reference wireline operators and wireline rigger classifications at $39.57 per hour plus $25.25 fringe under Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, suggesting wireline capability is needed, but these are embedded service lines within full-scope abandonment contracts, not discrete slickline-manipulation procurements. No other state, county, municipal, transit, or special-purpose district has issued a recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB explicitly naming slickline services. The code shows no recent activity worth pursuing as a primary commodity focus; firms offering slickline services to state and local buyers should expect to sell as a line-item subservice within larger drilling or well-abandonment contracts rather than as a standalone scope.
