UNSPSC 71122802: Well flow monitoring services

Services to monitor flow rates.

UNSPSC 71122802 Well flow monitoring services is a Commodity code that does not capture the actual state and local procurement activity visible in recent opportunities. The source contains no solicitations for well flow monitoring in the technical sense—measuring or analyzing flow rates, volume, or pressure in operating wells. Instead, the recent opportunities under this code overwhelmingly address orphan well plugging, abandonment, and site restoration (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy issuing four direct solicitations in July 2026 for plugging 38 orphaned gas storage wells in Gratiot and Montcalm counties); water well construction and rehabilitation (Marion County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Palm Bay, Florida; Watertown, Wisconsin; Bend, Oregon); wastewater pump station maintenance and repair (Seminole County, Florida issuing an IFB in May–July 2026 for a master service agreement covering 18 service categories including force main connections, pump replacement, and confined space operations); and emergency or on-call well and pump services (San Bernardino County, Hillsborough County, Eastern Municipal Water District in California). The code label and the actual work being bought diverge substantially, making pursuit decisions difficult without clarification from the issuing body on whether "well flow monitoring" encompasses the broader category of well and pump services, site restoration, and infrastructure renewal that the recent activity suggests.

Geographic concentration is heavy in Florida (Seminole, Marion, Collier, Hillsborough counties) and Michigan (Michigan EGLE issuing multiple orphan-well contracts). Secondary activity appears in California (San Bernardino, Riverside), Wisconsin, Oregon, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. The Michigan solicitations (DS 7612600000000322, DS 7612600000000331, DS 7612600000000332, DS 7612600000000341, all with response dates of July 21, 2026) are representative: they require prequalification through prior RFPs, mandatory pre-bid attendance on July 9, 2026, unit pricing on 68 line items, and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance. Seminole County's wastewater pump station R&R (CC710026HSMA, due August 5, 2026) and San Bernardino County's on-call well and pump services (SPD126SPDAD6431, due August 31, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $2.8 million) represent the service-contract model. The code shows active procurement across state departments, counties, and municipalities, but the mismatch between the code's name and the actual scope suggests vendors should verify with issuing bodies whether their service offerings align before investing in proposal development.
