UNSPSC 71122706: Well swabbing services

Services to reduce pressure in a wellbore by moving pipe, wireline tools or rubber-cupped seals up the wellbore.

UNSPSC 71122706 Well swabbing services is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes extraction and maintenance services for producing oil and gas wells, yet the recent solicitations in the dataset show state and local governments purchasing water well drilling, rehabilitation, abandonment, monitoring well installation, pump maintenance, and irrigation system improvements—none of which fall under well swabbing. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy coding error in the source data or that the code is being applied to unrelated utility and infrastructure work that belongs in a different UNSPSC family.

State and local issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span multiple jurisdictions: Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has posted multiple orphan oil and gas well plugging solicitations; the City of Albany, Georgia and City of Wrens, Georgia are procuring municipal water well rehabilitation and construction; Escambia County, Florida is installing monitoring wells; the Illinois Department of Corrections is seeking well video surveys and casing repairs; Hillsborough County, Florida is soliciting aeration system maintenance for lift stations; and Boulder County, Colorado is installing stock water wells for agricultural leases. Issuing bodies include state environmental agencies, municipal water departments, county utilities, and special-purpose park and recreation districts. Across the recent activity, Michigan EGLE stands out as a repeat buyer, having posted prequalification RFPs and multiple direct solicitations for orphan well plugging throughout 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Michigan (Gratiot and Montcalm Counties), Florida (Hillsborough, Escambia, Sarasota), and Georgia (Albany, Wrens), with scattered activity in Illinois, Colorado, Mississippi, Oregon, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's prequalified contractor RFP for oil and gas services (RFP 7612600000025222, September 22, 2026 response deadline) and multiple direct solicitations for orphan well plugging in Gratiot County (DS 260000000032–35, July 21, 2026); the City of Albany, Georgia's sealed bid for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (PE64750NONST2027000000232, November 16, 2026); the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for plugging nine orphaned wells across Jasper and Jones Counties (3160008162, December 18, 2026); and Hillsborough County's on-call well maintenance contract (ITB 26-00234, June 12, 2026, estimated at $688,073 over two years). The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; most posted work involves water infrastructure, municipal utilities, or environmental remediation rather than hydrocarbon extraction support services.
