UNSPSC 71122713: Subsea wellhead service

Subsea wellheads are the primary pressure barrier for subsea wells providing a secure and pressure-controlled environment for access to the wellbore. They are crucial to the safe and steady production of oil and gas as they act as anchors and suspension points.

UNSPSC 71122713 Subsea wellhead service is a Commodity-tier code that in state and local procurement does not map to actual buying activity in the recent opportunity record. The recent solicitations tagged under this code span irrigation system improvements (City of DeBary, Florida), orphan oil and gas well plugging (Michigan, Mississippi), municipal water well construction and rehabilitation (Georgia, Texas, Mississippi), wastewater pump station repair and grinder replacement (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Seminole County, Florida), landfill monitoring well installation (Escambia County, Florida), well maintenance and repair services (Illinois Department of Corrections, San Bernardino County, Austin Parks and Recreation, Hillsborough County), and various design and program-management services for water infrastructure—none of which involve subsea wellhead installation, service, or equipment typical of offshore or marine petroleum operations. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all taxonomy tag for well-related work rather than reflecting the code's true scope.

Issuing bodies soliciting under water-well and pump-station categories include state departments (Michigan EGLE, Illinois DNR, Oregon Parks and Recreation, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Texas Parks and Wildlife), counties (Gwinnett, Seminole, Escambia, Sarasota, Hillsborough, San Bernardino, Boulder), cities (DeBary, Albany Georgia, Ocala, Austin, Lubbock, Reynolds, Pascagoula, Wrens, Bend, Sheridan), and special districts (Hilldale Water District, Big Bear Valley Recreation and Park District). Geographic concentration in recent activity spans Michigan (multiple orphan well plugging RFPs), Mississippi (orphan well plugging and water well construction), Georgia (well rehabilitation and new construction), Florida (monitoring wells, irrigation, pump station repair, and well maintenance), Illinois (well survey and repair, SFWA well drilling), Texas (utility improvements, water treatment plant design), Oregon (state park water supply), Colorado (agricultural stock wells), and California (on-call pump maintenance). The code shows no recent relevant activity—the solicitations under the tag involve land-based municipal and industrial water infrastructure, not offshore subsea equipment.
