UNSPSC 71122701: Oil well platform maintenance services

Maintenance of platforms.

UNSPSC 71122701 Oil well platform maintenance services is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments actually buy under it. The recent opportunities in the state and local procurement record show minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope—maintenance of oil drilling platforms—and the diverse water infrastructure work tagged to this code in practice. Instead, the code is used to index well drilling, plugging, rehabilitation, abandonment, and water supply construction across municipal water systems, county utilities, state environmental agencies, and park districts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE), the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and multiple city and county water and utilities departments. A standout pattern emerges in Michigan, where EGLE has issued multiple direct solicitations in July 2026 for plugging and site restoration of orphan gas wells in Gratiot County and Montcalm County, each with 3 to 14 wells per package, all restricted to prequalified vendors from prior RFP cycles and subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding.

Geographic activity concentrates in Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, and Oregon. Recent representative opportunities include Michigan EGLE's direct solicitation for the Gilbert Orphan Well Plugging project in Kent County (RFP response due October 12, 2026), Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for plugging nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (bids due December 18, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid inspection October 22, 2026), the City of Albany, Georgia's sealed bid for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (bids due November 16, 2026), Hillsborough County, Florida's ITB for water well maintenance and repair services across 67 county wells ($688,073 estimated value, two-year term), the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ for color video survey and well casing repair at Sheridan Correctional Center (multiple iterations with short response windows in August and September 2026), and Boulder County Parks and Open Space's RFP for stock water well installation on agricultural leases ($350,000 contract value, proposals due September 4, 2026). The code shows sustained activity in well construction, rehabilitation, emergency repair, and orphan-well remediation funded through state revolving funds, state environmental programs, and federal infrastructure grants.
