UNSPSC 71122205: Slickline logging services

Services to provide logging via slickline

UNSPSC 71122205 Slickline logging services, a Commodity code, shows a significant disconnect between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code name refers to specialized oil and gas well diagnostics using cable-suspended downhole tools, but the recent opportunities block shows no activity matching that description. Instead, state and local governments are soliciting water well drilling, pump installation, well abandonment, irrigation system improvements, wastewater pump station repair, and orphan oil and gas well plugging and site restoration — work that falls under different UNSPSC families and classes related to water and environmental infrastructure, not slickline logging. The recent opportunities include the City of DeBary, Florida procuring irrigation system upgrades (IFB, April 2015 response date); the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy and State of Michigan awarding contracts for orphan well plugging across multiple counties (awards October 2026); the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board soliciting bids on nine orphaned well sites in Jasper and Jones Counties (IFB, December 2026 response date); and the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting color video surveys and well casing repair at Sheridan Correctional Center (multiple ITQs and quotes, August–September 2026). The code generates little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated definition.

Geographic activity clusters in Michigan (multiple orphan well plugging direct solicitations in Gratiot and Montcalm Counties), Mississippi (orphan well and water well projects), Illinois (Department of Corrections well surveys, Department of Natural Resources irrigation well installation), Florida (irrigation, pump stations, well abandonment), Georgia (water well construction), and Colorado (stock water wells on agricultural properties). Issuers span state environmental and energy departments, state corrections departments, county utilities and public works offices, cities, water districts, and park and recreation agencies. No set-aside or preference patterns emerge consistently across the recent opportunities. The code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity; the opportunities posted under it address water infrastructure, environmental remediation, and utility maintenance rather than well logging services.
