UNSPSC 71122701: Oil well platform maintenance services

Maintenance of platforms.

UNSPSC 71122701 Oil well platform maintenance services is a Commodity code covering plugging, abandonment, and site restoration of orphaned oil and gas wells — work state and local governments procure under environmental remediation and natural resource management programs funded through federal infrastructure grants. State and local buying under this code centers on orphaned well plugging programs in Michigan and Mississippi, driven by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Orphaned Wells Program, with environmental agencies and state oil and gas boards issuing direct solicitations and invitations for bid to qualified pre-selected contractors. Work includes well plugging operations, site remediation, equipment removal, cement installation, drilling and re-drilling, wireline services, waste disposal, heavy equipment operations, and full site restoration to regulatory standards including prevailing wage compliance under Davis-Bacon Act requirements.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has dominated recent activity, issuing four direct solicitations in July 2026 covering 38 gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm Counties (orphan wells formerly operated by New Haven Energy LLC) with responses due July 21, 2026 under DS 2600000032 through DS 2600000035. The Mississippi Oil and Gas Board issued multiple invitations for bid in March and April 2026 for plugging and reclamation of orphaned oil and gas wells in seven Mississippi counties (IFB RFx No. 3160007881, 3160007966, 3160007967), with bids due April 13, April 28, and May 11, 2026. All Michigan and Mississippi solicitations require prior prequalification through separate RFPs and restrict bidding to pre-selected vendors. Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Michigan and Mississippi; the Texas General Land Office and Railroad Commission of Texas also posted well plugging RFQs in May and February 2026 at the Class-code level but did not detail Commodity-level opportunities under 71122701. The code shows little activity outside state orphaned-wells programs and federal IIJA-funded initiatives; standard commercial or industrial platform maintenance does not appear in the recent record.
