UNSPSC 71122702: Oilfield pumping unit maintenance services

Maintenance of oilfield pumping units.

UNSPSC 71122702 Oilfield pumping unit maintenance services (Commodity) spans well-related repair and maintenance work that state and local governments are actually procuring today—though the recent solicitations under this code reveal a marked mismatch between the nominal scope and what is actually being bought. The code name references oilfield pump units, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged to 71122702 cover water well drilling, abandonment, and site restoration; wastewater pump station maintenance; irrigation system installation; orphan oil and gas well plugging funded by federal infrastructure grants; and municipal water supply well construction and testing. These buyers include state environmental and natural resources departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department), municipal water utilities (City of Albany, City of Reynolds, City of Wrens, City of Lubbock, Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Escambia County), and county drainage and park authorities. The issuing bodies mix state agencies, cities, counties, and special water districts, with Michigan and Mississippi state agencies appearing most frequently in recent direct solicitations for federally funded orphan well plugging.

The recent activity shows two distinct procurement streams: federal-grant-funded orphan oil and gas well plugging under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (dominating Michigan, Mississippi, and Illinois solicitations with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, prequalified vendor pools, and firm-fixed-price or time-and-materials pricing matrices); and routine municipal water infrastructure work including well drilling, pump maintenance, irrigation improvements, and wastewater station repairs issued by cities and counties across Florida, Georgia, Texas, Colorado, Oregon, and Michigan. Representative recent opportunities include the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's sealed-bid solicitation for plugging nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (IFB RFx 3160008162, bids due 18 December 2026, nine wells at depths of 5,700 to 10,700 feet, mandatory pre-bid 22 October 2026); Michigan EGLE's prequalification RFP for orphan well plugging, drilling, and site restoration services statewide (RFP 7612600000025222, proposals due 22 September 2026, five-year term with two optional renewals, 100-point technical evaluation requiring minimum 80 points); Hillsborough County's competitive sealed-bid for water well maintenance and repair on 67 irrigation and potable wells (ITB 26-00234, bids due 12 June 2026, estimated value $688,073.00 over two years); and the City of Albany Georgia's sealed-bid request for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (Bid Ref. 27-032, bids due 16 November 2026). The code shows consistent activity in the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama) and Midwest (Michigan, Illinois, Ohio), with periodic solicitations in Texas, Colorado, and Oregon. The orphan well work is federally funded, requires prequalification or prior-award eligibility, applies Davis-Bacon wages, and operates on fixed pricing matrices; municipal water work is locally funded, open to qualified licensed contractors, and typically awarded lowest responsive bid.
