UNSPSC 71122408: Periodic well testing services

Services to provided reoccurring tests on the wells equipment such as bop, drill rig, electrical, paint, rotating equipment, structural, tubulars.

UNSPSC 71122408 Periodic well testing services is a Commodity code that describes a narrow product line within the water and wastewater infrastructure contracting space. In practice, state and local governments do not procure "periodic well testing services" as a standalone activity. Recent opportunities tagged under this code actually reflect well drilling, plugging, abandonment, rehabilitation, casing repair, video surveys, maintenance, and pump system work—that is, well construction and restoration services, not periodic testing alone. The code's narrow nominal scope does not align with the actual work being bought; state and local buyers are issuing solicitations for comprehensive well projects (new well construction, orphan well plugging, well rehabilitation, emergency casing repair, and associated infrastructure) under multiple notice types including IFB, RFP, RFQ, and ITB, with response deadlines ranging across the present quarter.

The issuing-body mix spans water utilities, county environmental agencies, state departments of environment and natural resources, municipal water departments, parks and recreation authorities, and special-purpose water districts. State environmental and natural resources agencies (particularly Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, and Mississippi's Oil and Gas Board) are repeat buyers, issuing multiple direct solicitations and prequalification vehicles for orphan well plugging under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding. Cities, counties, and regional water utilities in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Colorado, and Texas are soliciting well construction, replacement, and rehabilitation work. Representative recent opportunities include the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's sealed-bid IFB for plugging and reclamation of nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (bids due December 18, 2026); the City of Albany, Georgia's IFB for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (bids due November 16, 2026); Hillsborough County, Florida's ITB for water well maintenance and repair services across 67 county wells ($688,073 over two years, bids due June 12, 2026); and the State of Michigan's prequalification RFP for oil and gas well plugging contractors serving the Lower Peninsula (proposals due September 22, 2026, with five awardees ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 each). Geographic activity centers on Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Colorado, with federal funding driving orphan-well plugging activity in Appalachian and Great Lakes states. Bid and proposal responses remain firm for 90–180 days; prevailing wage (Davis-Bacon) compliance is mandatory on federally funded projects; and insurance requirements typically mandate $1–2 million general liability, pollution liability, and workers' compensation coverage.
