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 plugging, abandonment, remediation, and site restoration of orphaned oil and gas wells and municipal water supply wells, along with associated equipment installation, inspection, and testing services. State and local governments procuring under this code are currently purchasing orphan well plugging and site remediation as a federal and state environmental priority, water well drilling and completion for municipal supply systems, and specialized repair and rehabilitation services for existing wells serving public utilities. The issuing bodies span state environmental and oil-and-gas agencies (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; Texas General Land Office), counties (Marion County, Collier County, Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Sarasota County, Volusia County, Union County in Illinois), cities (Watertown, Palm Bay, Ocala, Pascagoula, Pendleton, Austin, Lubbock, Santa Cruz, Bend), and special districts (Eastern Municipal Water District in California, San Bernardino County Department of Public Works—Special Districts). Repeat activity centers on Michigan's large orphan-well remediation program and Florida's water utility infrastructure upgrades across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent solicitations reflect sustained activity in orphan well remediation, with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy posting four direct solicitations in mid-July 2026 for plugging and site restoration across 38 gas storage wells in Gratiot and Montcalm counties (responses due July 21, 2026); these solicitations require prequalification through prior RFPs and mandatory pre-bid attendance, with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance and best-value award selection. The Mississippi Oil and Gas Board has issued multiple IFBs for well plugging and reclamation funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Orphan Well Program (bids due April–May 2026). Municipal water well work is exemplified by Hillsborough County's two-year water well maintenance and repair contract (ITB due June 12, 2026, estimated at $688,073) and the City of Palm Bay's four production wells construction (sealed bids due April 28, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas, with additional activity in California, Illinois, Colorado, Georgia, Oregon, and Wisconsin. The code sees consistent demand across state environmental remediation programs (orphan wells), public water utilities (new well construction and rehabilitation), and specialized maintenance on existing municipal systems, with evaluation emphasizing technical capability, equipment ownership, experience, and best value rather than low price alone.
