UNSPSC 71122601: Cased hole well completion services

Installation of production equipment in a cased hole.

UNSPSC 71122601 Cased hole well completion services is a Commodity code that describes orphan oil and gas well plugging, abandonment, and site restoration work. State and local governments procure this service primarily through environmental remediation programs funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and state revolving loan funds, as evidenced by recent solicitations from state energy and environmental agencies for plugging abandoned wells and restoring well sites to regulatory compliance. The work includes drilling rig services, cement plugging at specified depths, casing removal, wellhead capping, site preparation and restoration, and compliance with state plugging standards and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements where federally funded.

State and environmental agencies dominate solicitation activity under this code. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has posted multiple direct solicitations for orphan well plugging across Gratiot, Montcalm, and Kent Counties, as has the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board for wells in Jasper, Jones, Adams, and Walthall Counties. These solicitations typically restrict competition to vendors prequalified through earlier RFP processes and require attendance at mandatory pre-bid meetings. A representative recent opportunity is the Michigan EGLE Gilbert Orphan Well Plugging project in Kent County (DS 7612600000000421), with proposals due October 12, 2026, soliciting plugging, drilling, re-drilling, and site restoration at a single orphan well located in a lake with restricted eligibility to prequalified vendors and evaluation on technical criteria including key personnel, equipment adequacy, and company experience. The Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's nine-well plugging, remediation, and reclamation project (IFB RFx No. 3160008162) in Jasper and Jones Counties, with bids due December 18, 2026, calls for comprehensive abandonment work including liquid removal, location restoration, and infrastructure disposal at depths from approximately 5,700 to 10,700 feet, funded under the Orphaned Wells Program and subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage standards and Build America, Buy America Act requirements. Geographic activity concentrates in Michigan, Mississippi, and a narrower set of states where infrastructure funding supports orphan well programs; most recent opportunities reflect federal stimulus-funded state and local remediation initiatives rather than routine utility maintenance.
