UNSPSC 71122600: Well completion services

Services for the installation of equipment and tubulars in the well bore to enable safe and efficient production of oil and/or gas. Includes labor.

UNSPSC 71122600 Well completion services is a Class code that encompasses the drilling, construction, testing, plugging, and abandonment of water supply wells, monitoring wells, stock water wells, and orphan oil and gas wells for state and local government agencies. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows substantial demand across water utility infrastructure, environmental remediation, and state natural resource management, with work ranging from routine maintenance and repair to major well construction projects involving multiple wells and complex site restoration. State and local governments are buying drilling services, well construction with specialized casing and screen installation, aquifer testing, video survey and diagnostics, pump installation and repair, well abandonment and plugging per regulatory standards, and associated site restoration and permitting compliance. The mix of issuing bodies includes municipal water departments (cities of Albany Georgia, Austin Texas, Lubbock Texas, Pascagoula Mississippi, Reynolds Georgia, and Wrens Georgia), county governments and water management districts (Northwest Florida Water Management District, Sarasota County, Seminole County Florida, Escambia County Florida, Gwinnett County Georgia, Boulder County Colorado), state environmental and natural resources agencies (Michigan EGLE for orphan oil and gas wells, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Oregon Parks and Recreation), regional water authorities (Hillsborough County wastewater, Hilldale Water District Mississippi), and university facilities (UTSA). Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy appears as a standout repeat buyer, issuing multiple direct solicitations and prequalification RFPs for orphan well plugging throughout 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Michigan (multiple orphan well plugging packages across Gratiot, Montcalm, and Kent Counties), Florida (Bay County, Sarasota, Escambia, Hillsborough, and Marion Counties), and Georgia (Albany, Reynolds, Wrens), with secondary activity in Mississippi, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Northwest Florida Water Management District's ITB 26B-003 for well construction and aquifer testing in Bay County (bids due September 1, 2026, with three responsive bidders ranging from $691,520 to $1.082 million), the City of Albany Georgia's sealed bid for Well No. 21 rehabilitation with responses due November 16, 2026, the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for plugging nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (bids due December 18, 2026, with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), and Michigan EGLE's direct solicitations for multiple orphan well plugging packages in July 2026 (three to fourteen wells per package, eligibility restricted to prequalified vendors, proposals due July 21, 2026). Opportunities commonly include prevailing wage mandates when federally funded, competitive bidding restricted to licensed drillers or prequalified vendors, performance and payment bonds, compliance with American Iron and Steel or Build America Buy America requirements on state-revolving-fund projects, and 24-month to five-year maintenance and warranty terms for new installations.
