UNSPSC 71122715: Subsea flowline service

Subsea flowlines are the subsea pipes used to connect a manifold to the surface facility in order to convey fluids to or from the host. subsea pipeline inspection of both unpiggable and piggable coated and uncoated subsea pipelines, to help oil and gas operators better understand flow assurance issues and ensure the integrity of their assets, Installation, pipeline commissioning and grout monitoring below.

UNSPSC 71122715 Subsea flowline service, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying. Recent solicitations tagged to this code involve orphan well plugging, site restoration, water well construction, wastewater pump station maintenance, and related subsurface drilling activities—work that falls squarely within onshore oil and gas abandonment and municipal water infrastructure, not subsea pipeline systems. The code's nominal scope (underwater production piping) is fundamentally misaligned with the opportunities in the dataset.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy dominates the recent activity, having posted four direct solicitations in July 2026 for orphan gas storage well abandonment and site restoration across Gratiot and Montcalm counties. These solicitations—due July 21, 2026—collectively cover 38 wells and require bidders to be prequalified through prior RFPs, attend mandatory pre-bid meetings on July 9, 2026, and submit unit pricing for 68 line items covering rig services, labor (Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, $39.57–$41.32 per hour plus fringe), casing and tubing rentals, wireline services, cementing, waste disposal, and site restoration. Evaluation is technical (key personnel, equipment list, experience, vendor questions worksheet at 25 points each, 80-point minimum threshold), with award based on best value rather than lowest price. Beyond Michigan, scattered activity appears in Florida (Seminole County wastewater pump station maintenance, Sarasota County well abandonment), Texas (water treatment plant engineering), California (on-call well maintenance for San Bernardino County), Illinois (well installation at Union County State Fish and Wildlife Area), Mississippi (orphan oil and gas well plugging for state and federal grant programs), and Georgia (monitoring well replacement, deep well installation). No activity is subsea-related; the code classification error is material and systematic across all recent opportunities in the dataset.
