UNSPSC 71122707: Oilfield tubing anchor services

Services to anchor and stabilize the bottom hole assembly for the duration of the intended application.

UNSPSC 71122707 Oilfield tubing anchor services, a Commodity code, encompasses well plugging, site restoration, and ancillary services for orphaned oil and gas wells that state and local environmental agencies are remediating under federally funded programs. Recent solicitations show the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy and the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board as primary buyers, issuing direct solicitations and invitations for bids for comprehensive well abandonment work including equipment removal, cement plugging to specified depths, site reclamation, and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance. The code captures turnkey well plugging scope across multiple service lines—drilling and re-drilling, plugging materials and labor, wireline and mud engineering, heavy equipment operations, site restoration—bundled as single infrastructure projects. Issuing bodies mix state environmental or natural resources departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Texas General Land Office, Illinois Department of Natural Resources) and special-purpose districts focused on environmental remediation, with repeat activity from Michigan EGLE on multiple tranche releases for orphan well programs in Gratiot and Montcalm counties.

Michigan EGLE dominates recent activity, posting four direct solicitations in mid-July 2026 (DS7612600000000321 through DS7612600000000352) for plugging and site restoration of 38 orphaned gas storage wells across New Haven Energy LLC facilities in Gratiot County, all with July 21, 2026 response dates, mandatory prequalification through prior RFPs, and unit-price schedules covering 68 line items including rig configurations, labor classifications subject to Davis-Bacon wage rates ($39.57–$41.32 per hour plus $25.25–$40.00 fringe), and best-value selection criteria. Mississippi Oil and Gas Board issued parallel IFBs (RFx 3160007881, 3160007966, 3160007967) for orphan well plugging across multiple counties, with bids due in late March and April 2026, federally funded through Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act formula grants. Illinois Department of Natural Resources posted competitive procurement (IFB 26-422DNR) for Union County SFWA well installation with small-business set-aside, June-July 2026 timeline. The geographic concentration is heavy in Michigan (Gratiot, Montcalm counties) and Mississippi (multi-county), with spot activity in Texas, Illinois, and Florida. This code sees steady state-level procurement activity driven by federal IIJA orphan well remediation funding, with prequalification requirements, prevailing wage mandates, and multi-tranche releases typical of environmental infrastructure programs.
