UNSPSC 71122616: Expandable pipe/screen well completion services

Use of expandable pipe/screen for sand control during well completion

UNSPSC 71122616 Expandable pipe/screen well completion services is a Commodity code that encompasses drilling, installation, plugging, and abandonment of water wells and monitoring wells across municipal, county, and state jurisdictions. State and local governments procure under this code for replacement and rehabilitation of production and monitoring wells serving potable water systems, irrigation infrastructure, wastewater facilities, and environmental remediation sites. The issuing bodies include city water departments, county utilities divisions, state environmental and natural resources agencies, and special-purpose water and sanitation districts. Recent activity shows a mix of routine maintenance contracts, capital replacement projects, and federally funded orphan-well plugging programs. Work spans drilling and casing installation, pump and motor replacement, well abandonment and site restoration, video surveys, and emergency repair services. Geographic concentration is highest in Michigan (multiple orphan well projects funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), Florida (irrigation system upgrades, well maintenance contracts, and well abandonment), Mississippi (orphan well plugging), Georgia (municipal well rehabilitation and new deep well construction), and Illinois (correctional facility well surveys and repairs). State and local buyers are actively soliciting across the South, Midwest, and Great Lakes regions.

Representative recent opportunities include the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for plugging of nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (bids due December 18, 2026, under 3160008162), the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's prequalified vendor awards for oil and gas well plugging services totaling $800,000 (RFP 260000002522, award notification October 12, 2026), Hillsborough County's ITB for water well maintenance and repair services for 67 irrigation and potable water wells over two years at an estimated $688,073 (ITB-26-00234, bids due June 12, 2026), the City of Albany, Georgia's sealed bid for Well No. 21 rehabilitation under IFB 27-032 (bids due November 16, 2026), and the State of Michigan's direct solicitation for Gilbert Orphan Well Plugging in Kent County (proposals due October 12, 2026, under DS7612600000000421). Federal funding via the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and state revolving funds drives activity in well plugging and new construction; Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements apply to federally funded projects, and Build America, Buy America Act compliance is mandatory for projects using state or federal funds.
