UNSPSC 71122503: Water or gas control isolation services

Services to isolate water or gas in a well.

UNSPSC 71122503 Water or gas control isolation services is a Commodity code capturing well and pipeline isolation work that state and local governments buy when shutting down, abandoning, or retrofitting water and gas infrastructure. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on orphan well plugging and abandonment—a high-volume, federally catalyzed category driven by Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding and state environmental remediation programs. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has posted four direct solicitations in July 2026 for plugging, drilling, and site restoration of 38 orphaned gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties under strict prequalification to prior RFP awardees, with mandatory pre-bid meetings and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements. Sarasota County, Hillsborough County, San Bernardino County, and other Florida and California water authorities are also active, procuring well abandonment, rehabilitation, and on-call maintenance services. Issuing bodies span state environmental agencies (Michigan EGLE), county utilities departments (Seminole County, Hillsborough County, Marion County, Volusia County, Collier County), municipal water utilities (City of Palm Bay, City of Lubbock, Eastern Municipal Water District), and special districts (San Bernardino County Department of Public Works). Water well construction and rehabilitation dominates; orphaned oil and gas well plugging via Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act grants (Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Texas General Land Office, Railroad Commission of Texas) represents a secondary but growing segment.

Geographic spread concentrates in Michigan (38 wells in two months), Florida (multiple counties), California (San Bernardino, Riverside, Santa Cruz), Mississippi, and Texas, with additional activity in Illinois, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy New Haven Orphan Well direct solicitations (DS7612600000000322, DS7612600000000332, DS7612600000000352, DS7612600000000342) due July 21, 2026, for plugging and site restoration across 38 gas storage wells with mandatory pre-bid attendance July 9, 2026, best-value selection favoring key personnel, business-owned equipment, technical experience, and vendor questions; Seminole County Board of County Commissioners wastewater pump station R&R (CC710026HSMA) due August 5, 2026, for master service agreement with individual work orders requiring 51 percent self-perform and 24-hour emergency response; Hillsborough County water well maintenance and repair (ITB2600234) due June 12, 2026, estimated at $688,073.00 for two years covering 67 wells; and San Bernardino County on-call well and pump maintenance (SPD126SPDAD6431) due August 31, 2026, capped at $2.8 million over five years with prevailing wage compliance. Davis-Bacon and California prevailing wage requirements are standard; service-disabled veteran-owned business status is evaluated in Michigan procurements.
