UNSPSC 71122703: Oilfield rod pump repair services

Maintenance on artificial lift systems.

UNSPSC 71122703 Oilfield rod pump repair services, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for oilfield equipment repair; instead, the overwhelming majority address well abandonment, plugging, remediation, and site restoration for orphaned oil and gas wells, water well construction and rehabilitation, and municipal water infrastructure projects. The code's nominal scope—repair of sucker rod pumps used in oil production—bears no meaningful connection to the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification.

Four of the twelve Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy direct solicitations posted in July 2026 exemplify the mismatch. DS7612600000000322 (New Haven Sec 3, due July 21, 2026) solicits plugging, drilling, re-drilling, and site restoration across three orphan wells in Gratiot County with Davis-Bacon wage requirements and a 68-line-item unit-pricing matrix covering site prep, rig services, equipment rental, cementing, wireline, waste disposal, and restoration—a scope that spans well abandonment, not pump repair. Three parallel New Haven solicitations (DS7612600000000332, DS7612600000000334, DS7612600000000335, all due July 21) cover 12, 14, and 9 additional orphan wells respectively, each requiring prequalification through prior RFPs and mandatory pre-bid attendance. Beyond Michigan, opportunities include Sarasota County's well abandonment (RFQ 2026QQ759, due July 10); Hillsborough County's two-year water well maintenance contract (ITB-26-00234, $688,073 estimated, due June 12); Seminole County's wastewater pump station repair and refurbishment (CC710026HSMA, due August 5); Eastern Municipal Water District's on-call well maintenance and rehabilitation (RFP 3931, proposals due April 24); and Mississippi Oil and Gas Board orphan well plugging contracts (IFB 3160007967, 3160007966, 3160007881, all issued March–April 2026). State and local bodies issuing these opportunities span state environmental and energy departments, county utilities and public works offices, water districts, and special-purpose authorities across Michigan, Florida, California, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. The code shows little relevant recent activity and carries a significant scope mismatch—state and local procurement under this classification addresses well decommissioning and water infrastructure rehabilitation, not oilfield sucker rod pump repair, which remains outside the purview of typical public procurement.
