UNSPSC 71122207: Slickline pipe recovery services

Services using a slickline to recover pipe from downhole

UNSPSC 71122207 Slickline pipe recovery services is a Commodity code with minimal recent alignment to state and local procurement activity. The source records show no meaningful state or local government solicitations matching the code's nominal scope of slickline pipe recovery — a specialized oil and gas well intervention service. The recent opportunities tagged under this code instead reflect water-well construction, rehabilitation, abandonment, and maintenance; wastewater pump station repair; irrigation system installation; and orphan oil and gas well plugging — none of which constitute slickline pipe recovery work.

The overwhelming majority of recent activity centers on infrastructure for water supply and wastewater management across state departments, counties, cities, and special districts in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, Colorado, Illinois, Texas, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy prequalification for orphan well plugging and site restoration services (RFP 260000002522, September 22, 2026 RFQ deadline, five awarded contractors totaling $800,000); the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board IFB for plugging, remediation, and reclamation of nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (bids due December 18, 2026 at $4.00 p.m. CST with mandatory October 22 pre-bid site inspection); the City of Albany, Georgia sealed-bid rehabilitation of Well No. 21 (bids due November 16, 2026); and Seminole County, Florida's master service agreement for wastewater pump station maintenance, repair, and refurbishment (June 17, 2026 deadline). This code does not support a pursue decision for slickline pipe recovery services and appears to be a taxonomy mislabeling rather than evidence of active state and local demand.
