UNSPSC 71122709: Downhole tool maintenance services

Repairs to downhole tools

UNSPSC 71122709 Downhole tool maintenance services, a Commodity code, encompasses well plugging, abandonment, and site restoration work that state and local governments procure when managing orphaned or end-of-life oil and gas wells, water supply infrastructure, and wastewater systems. Recent state and local solicitations under this code focus on plugging and abandonment of orphaned gas storage wells with comprehensive site remediation, as well as maintenance and repair of municipal water and wastewater wells. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has emerged as a standout repeat buyer, issuing multiple direct solicitations in July 2026 for plugging services on orphaned gas storage wellheads operated by New Haven Energy LLC across Gratiot and Montcalm counties, with mandatory prequalification through prior RFPs and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance. Counties and municipalities in Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, and Texas have also issued recent opportunities for well rehabilitation, plugging, and pump system installation, with activity spanning water supply, irrigation, and environmental remediation contexts.

The code shows concentrated recent activity in the Great Lakes region and scattered activity across the Southeast and South—Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, Texas, and Illinois have posted opportunities between February and July 2026. Representative current solicitations include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's four direct solicitations (posted July 16, 2026, with proposals due July 21, 2026) for plugging and site restoration of 26 total orphaned gas storage wells across Gratiot County sections, each requiring unit pricing on 68 line items covering labor, equipment, materials, and wireline services under Davis-Bacon rates, and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Bid (ITB 26-00234, due June 12, 2026) for two-year water well maintenance and repair services on 67 irrigation and potable wells, estimated at $688,073, requiring current Water Well Contractor Licensure and comprehensive insurance. Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Mississippi Oil and Gas Board have also solicited orphaned well plugging work through small-business set-asides and federal infrastructure grant programs with five-year experience requirements and prevailing wage mandates. Issuing bodies are predominantly state environmental or oil-and-gas agencies, county utilities departments, and municipalities—not school districts or transit authorities—reflecting the specialized infrastructure nature of the work.
