UNSPSC 71122400: Well testing services

Services for well tests conducted with the drillstring still in the hole includes non-destructing testing services.

UNSPSC 71122400 Well testing services is a Class code that encompasses drilling, testing, abandonment, and plugging of water wells, monitoring wells, and orphaned oil and gas wells across municipal water systems, environmental remediation projects, and state-managed abandoned-well programs. Recent state and local solicitations frame this work as comprehensive well construction, diagnostic surveying (video and thermographic inspection), capacity testing, aquifer assessment, site restoration, and regulatory compliance under federal and state environmental standards. State and local governments are actively purchasing these services through water utilities, environmental departments, and state energy/natural resources agencies to address aging infrastructure, monitoring requirements under drinking-water regulations, and cleanup of orphaned wells using Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding.

The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Illinois Department of Corrections), municipal water systems (City of Albany Georgia, City of Reynolds Georgia, City of Wrens Georgia, City of Bend Oregon, Hillsdale Water District Mississippi, Northwest Florida Water Management District), county governments (Sarasota County, Seminole County, Gwinnett County, Boulder County), and special-purpose districts (San Bernardino County Service Areas). Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy stands out as a repeat buyer, posting multiple direct solicitations for orphan well plugging under prequalified contractor vehicles throughout July 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Michigan (multiple orphan well projects across Gratiot, Montcalm, and Kent Counties), Florida (Bay County, Sarasota County, Escambia County), Georgia (Albany, Reynolds, Wrens), and Mississippi (Jasper, Jones, and Adams Counties), with additional activity in Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Colorado, and California. Representative opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy Gilbert 1 Orphan Well Plugging project (closed competition restricted to five prequalified vendors, state-funded, RFQ due October 12, 2026); the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board plugging, remediation, and reclamation services for nine orphaned oil and gas wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (IFB due December 18, 2026, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements); the City of Albany Georgia Well No. 21 Rehabilitation (sealed bids due November 16, 2026); the Northwest Florida Water Management District well construction and aquifer testing in Bay County (ITB due September 1, 2026, three monitoring wells including specific capacity testing); and the Illinois Department of Corrections color video survey and well casing repair at Sheridan Correctional Center (multiple rounds posted June–September 2026, quotes due variously in July and August). All major solicitations mandate compliance with prevailing wage requirements when federally funded, Build America Buy America Act provisions on state-revolving-fund projects, comprehensive insurance including general liability and pollution liability, and documented field experience; many require prequalification, attendance at mandatory pre-bid or pre-proposal meetings, and submission of detailed pricing matrices with line-item specifications for labor, equipment, materials, and specialized services such as wireline operations, cementing, and waste disposal.
