UNSPSC 71122803: Oil or gas well monitoring services

Services to monitor temperature, pressure, and fluid flow as well as other conditions.

UNSPSC 71122803 Oil or gas well monitoring services (Commodity) encompasses well inspection, survey, and abandonment work that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure, wastewater systems, and environmental remediation. Recent activity shows a sharp mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought: the source includes multiple solicitations tagged to this code, yet only two are genuinely oil-or-gas-specific, while the remainder are water well maintenance, pump station repair, irrigation system installation, and well abandonment for potable and agricultural use. The issuing-body mix spans state environmental agencies (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), counties (Hillsborough, Seminole, Sarasota, Gwinnett, Escambia, Boulder), cities (Albany, Austin, DeBary, Reynolds, Wrens, Bend, Ocala, Lubbock, Pascagoula), a state parks department (Oregon Parks and Recreation Department; Texas Parks and Wildlife Department), a state correctional facility (Illinois Department of Corrections), and a water district (Hilldale Water District). The geographic spread spans Michigan, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, Oregon, and New York, with Michigan showing the heaviest concentration—the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy alone posted at least eight separate orphan well plugging RFPs and direct solicitations between June and October 2026.

Representative recent opportunities highlight the code's actual diversity. The Mississippi Oil and Gas Board issued IFB 3160008162 in October 2026 for plugging and remediation of nine orphaned oil and gas wells in Jasper and Jones Counties, with bids due December 18, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid site inspection on October 22. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy awarded prequalified contracts to five vendors (Lease Management, Inc.; M&A Energy Services LLC; NuPointe Energy LLC; Plants and Goodwin, Inc.; and Team Services LLC) totaling $800,000 for oil and gas well services under RFP 260000002522, announced October 12, 2026. However, the bulk of recent activity is water-focused: the City of Albany, Georgia solicited sealed bids for rehabilitation and upgrade of Well No. 21 (RFQ PE64750NONST2027000000232, due November 16, 2026); Boulder County Parks and Open Space requested proposals for installation of stock water wells on agricultural properties (RFP-300-26, due September 4, 2026, $350,000 contract value); Hillsborough County issued an ITB for water well maintenance and repair services across 67 county wells ($688,073.00 estimated value, due June 12, 2026); and Escambia County Waste Services requested installation of three monitoring wells at the Klondike Landfill (ITQ, responses due September 16, 2026). The code shows consistent activity but carries operational noise—many solicitations are mislabeled under 71122803 when they are fundamentally water infrastructure, not oil and gas monitoring.
