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 covering well plugging, abandonment, and isolation work that state and local governments procure to decommission orphaned oil and gas wells, close water supply wells, and perform emergency well repairs and diagnostics. State and local buyers include state environmental and natural resources departments, county water authorities, municipal water utilities, state fish and wildlife agencies, and county parks and recreation departments. The work being solicited under this code spans orphan well plugging and site restoration (often federally funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), municipal water well construction and replacement, well maintenance and repair services, well video surveys and casing repair, and emergency abandonment of contaminated or failed wells.

Recent activity concentrates in Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with standout repeat buyers including the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), which has posted multiple direct solicitations for orphan well plugging in Gratiot County and Kent County under prequalified contractor pools, and various county water and utilities departments. Representative recent solicitations include: the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board requesting sealed bids for plugging, remediation, and reclamation of nine orphaned oil and gas wells in Jasper and Jones Counties under IFB RFx No. 3160008162, with bids due December 18, 2026, and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements; the City of Albany, Georgia seeking sealed bids for rehabilitation and upgrade of Well No. 21, with bids due November 16, 2026; Hillsborough County, Florida issuing an ITB for water well maintenance and repair services across 67 wells, estimated at $688,073 for two years; the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department posting ITB #14709 for design and installation of a replacement water supply well system at Silver Falls State Park, with bids due November 2, 2026; and the City of DeBary, Florida procuring comprehensive irrigation system improvements at Rob Sullivan Park through a competitive bid process, with an engineer's estimate of $90,000 and a response date of April 10, 2015. Prequalification vehicles dominate Michigan activity, with EGLE maintaining rolling RFP-based contractor pools for subsequent RFQ-based project awards across multiple well packages and geographic areas.
