UNSPSC 71122804: Well site phase monitoring services

Services to monitor and make comparisons of periodic waves such as seismic waves.

UNSPSC 71122804, Well site phase monitoring services, is a Commodity code that sits at the intersection of water infrastructure construction and orphaned oil and gas remediation. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily acquiring well drilling, plugging, abandonment, and site restoration work — not passive monitoring, but active wellbore interventions. The recent opportunity set shows issuing bodies are predominantly state environmental and energy agencies (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; Illinois Department of Corrections), county utilities departments (Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Sarasota County), and municipal water systems. Within this mix, state oil and gas boards and environmental departments are repeat and high-volume buyers, with Michigan alone posting multiple direct-solicitation packages totaling dozens of orphan well plugging projects. Work types range from single-well rehabilitation and abandonment (City of Albany's Well No. 21 rehabilitation, response due November 16, 2026; Illinois Department of Corrections color video survey and well casing repair at Sheridan Correctional Center, responses due at various dates in August and September 2026) to bulk plugging, drilling, and site restoration programs (Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's nine-well orphaned well program under IFB 3160008162, response due December 18, 2026; Michigan's prequalified vendor awards for orphan well services totaling $800,000 over one year and five months). Contractors report needing five to ten years of direct well-plugging experience, valid state water-well or oil-and-gas contractor licenses, and capacity for Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance on federally funded projects.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Texas. Michigan Department of Environment posts the most frequent and largest volume solicitations, with multiple direct solicitations in July 2026 alone for New Haven Energy gas storage wells across Gratiot, Montcalm, and related counties, all restricted to prequalified vendor pools. Mississippi Oil and Gas Board is executing orphaned well plugging programs in Jasper, Jones, Adams, and Walthall Counties funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Florida counties — Hillsborough, Escambia, Sarasota — are active in well maintenance, monitoring well installation, and abandonment work. Two representative recent solicitations illustrate the scope: the Michigan Department of Environment's Gilbert Orphan Well Plugging project (award notification October 13, 2026, one well in Kent County, closed competition limited to prequalified vendors under RFP 260000002522, five awardees including Lease Management, Inc., M&A Energy Services LLC, NuPointe Energy LLC, Plants and Goodwin, Inc., and Team Services LLC, total contract value $800,000 over one year five months with no renewal); and the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's nine-well orphaned oil and gas well plugging, remediation, and reclamation program (IFB 3160008162, bids due December 18, 2026, mandatory pre-bid October 22, 2026, five-year-experience minimum, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Build America Buy America compliance required). The code shows strong recent activity and sustained demand through federal orphaned-well remediation funding programs.
