UNSPSC 71122204: Slickline completion services

Services installing a thin nonelectric cable used for selective placement and retrieval of wellbore hardware, such as plugs, gauges and valves located in sidepocket mandrels.

UNSPSC 71122204 Slickline completion services is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded in the source material. The opportunities tagged with this code span water well drilling, pump installation, wastewater pump station maintenance and repair, well abandonment, irrigation system upgrades, orphan oil and gas well plugging, and utility infrastructure improvements—none of which fall within the domain of slickline services, which are wireline intervention tools used in downhole oil and gas well operations. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy error in the source data or a category name that no longer reflects the work actually being procured under this code identifier.

Recent activity shows the code generating solicitations across multiple states and issuing-body types: state environmental and natural resource departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Natural Resources), counties (Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Gwinnett County, Sarasota County, Escambia County, Boulder County), cities (DeBary and Albany in Florida, Reynolds and Wrens in Georgia, Austin in Texas, Bend in Oregon, Lubbock in Texas, Ocala in Florida, Pascagoula in Mississippi), and independent agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, University of Texas at San Antonio). Water well drilling, pump maintenance, and orphan well plugging represent the dominant procurement themes. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Florida (multiple cities and counties), Georgia (cities and state procurement), Michigan (state-level orphan well programs), and Mississippi (state oil and gas board initiatives). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Albany, Georgia, requesting sealed bids for Well No. 21 rehabilitation through November 16, 2026 (RFQ format); the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board seeking sealed bids for nine orphaned well plugging and remediation projects in Jasper and Jones Counties through December 18, 2026 (IFB format with mandatory pre-bid site inspection October 22); and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy awarding prequalified contracts for orphan well plugging services to five vendors totaling $800,000 under a one-year-five-month term in October 2026.
