UNSPSC 71122505: Water or gas testing services

Sample testing of water or gas.

UNSPSC 71122505 Water or gas testing services is a Commodity code naming field services to assess or verify the integrity and safety of water and gas supply systems — the work state and local governments actually buy under this code right now spans well video surveys, water quality and pressure testing, orphan oil and gas well plugging and site restoration, irrigation system installation and testing, pump station rehabilitation, and emergency well repairs. The issuing-body mix reflects water utilities, environmental and natural resource agencies, park and recreation departments, correctional facilities, and county governments. Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) stands out as a repeat buyer, running a multi-phase prequalification and direct-solicitation program for orphan well plugging services across the Lower Peninsula. Recent work includes video surveys and casing repair (Illinois Department of Corrections at Sheridan Correctional Center), orphan well plugging and site restoration (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), water well replacement and new installation (cities of Albany Georgia, Reynolds Georgia, Wrens Georgia, and Pascagoula Mississippi; Hilldale Water District Mississippi), pump station grinder replacement and wet well rehabilitation (Gwinnett County Georgia, Seminole County Florida), and on-call well and pump maintenance (San Bernardino County California, Hillsborough County Florida).

Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, Mississippi), the Great Lakes region (Michigan, Illinois), and scattered Western and Southwest jurisdictions (Colorado, Oregon, Texas, California). Representative recent opportunities include Michigan EGLE's prequalification RFP for orphan well plugging services (RFP 7612600000025221, proposals due September 22, 2026), Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for plugging and remediation of nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (IFB 3160008162, bids due December 18, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid October 22, 2026), City of Albany Georgia's sealed-bid request for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (IFB PE64750NONST2027000000232, bids due November 16, 2026), City of Bend Oregon's RFP for design of the South Awbrey Butte Drainage Improvements Project (RFP 273203, proposals due October 9, 2026), Gwinnett County Georgia's sealed-bid IFB for Beaver Ruin Diversion Pump Station Grinders Replacements (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000778, bids due November 20, 2026), and San Bernardino County California Department of Public Works' RFQ for on-call well and pump maintenance and repair services across county service areas (RFQ SPD126SPDAD6431, proposals due August 31, 2026). Federally funded work under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Orphan Wells Program and State Revolving Funds is common, triggering Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and Build America, Buy America Act compliance. Emergency response, specialized equipment availability, prequalification in prior vendor pools, and demonstration of multi-year field experience in similar work are consistent competitive filters.
