UNSPSC 71122610: Sand control well completion services

Using gravel packing or sand consolidation during completion of a well.

UNSPSC 71122610 Sand control well completion services (Commodity) does not accurately describe the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for sand control, well completion, or oil and gas reservoir work. Instead, the tagged opportunities span water supply well drilling, irrigation system installation, orphan well plugging and abandonment, wastewater pump station repair, municipal water treatment infrastructure, and well maintenance—categories that fall outside the nominal scope of sand control completions for producing oil and gas wells. The code shows a categorical misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the state and local procurement activity assigned to it.

Recent opportunities in the block originate from state environmental and energy agencies (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), city and county utilities and public works departments (Hillsborough County, Seminole County, City of Albany, City of Wrens, Sarasota County), and parks and recreation authorities (Boulder County Parks and Open Space, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department). The geographic mix spans Michigan (orphan well plugging), Mississippi (water well and orphan well work), Florida (irrigation, wastewater pump stations, well abandonment), Georgia (municipal water supply wells), Texas (water treatment and park utility projects), Illinois (well repair, supplemental irrigation), and Colorado (stock water well installation). Representative solicitations include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy Gilbert Orphan Well Plugging project in Kent County (direct solicitation, proposals due October 12, 2026), the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board nine-well orphan plugging, remediation, and reclamation project in Jasper and Jones Counties (IFB, bids due December 18, 2026), the City of Albany Well No. 21 rehabilitation project (sealed bid, bids due November 16, 2026), and Hillsborough County's water well maintenance and repair services contract (ITB, estimated $688,073.00 over two years). When the code assignment and the recent opportunities diverge this sharply, the code likely carries little actionable signal for vendors pursuing sand control or oil and gas completion work at the state and local level.
