UNSPSC 71122206: Slickline mechanical services

Services using slickline to run mechanical tools downhole

UNSPSC 71122206 Slickline mechanical services (Commodity) does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under the code. The recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity show water well drilling, construction, plugging, abandonment, maintenance, and pump station work across multiple states—irrigation system installation (Florida), orphan oil and gas well plugging (Michigan and Mississippi), municipal well construction and rehabilitation (Georgia, Texas, Colorado), pump station repair (Florida, Georgia), and groundwater monitoring well installation (Florida). None of these solicitations describe slickline operations, which are oil and gas wellbore services using wire or cable to deploy tools downhole. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests this code carries little relevant volume for firms specializing in true slickline mechanical work in state and local markets.

State and local issuing bodies active in the broader well and pump infrastructure category include state environmental and energy departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), municipal water systems (cities of Albany, Reynolds, Wrens, Bend, Lubbock), county utilities and parks departments (Hillsborough, Seminole, Gwinnett, Sarasota, Boulder, Escambia, Union County), and specialized districts (San Bernardino County Service Areas, Illinois Department of Natural Resources). Recent competitive opportunities span RFPs for design and management services, IFBs and ITBs for construction and drilling, and RFQs for maintenance, with response deadlines ranging from June through December 2026. The geographic spread includes Michigan (multiple orphan well plugging solicitations in Gratiot and Kent Counties), Mississippi (orphan well plugging in Jasper, Jones, Adams, and Walthall Counties), Florida (water well and pump station work in multiple counties), Georgia (well rehabilitation and construction), Texas (water treatment and utility projects), Colorado (stock well installation), Illinois (supplemental irrigation well), and Oregon (park water supply well replacement).
