UNSPSC 71122902: Jackup oilfield rig services

Rig services for a self-contained combination drilling rig and floating barge, fitted with long support legs that can be raised or lowered independently of each other.

UNSPSC 71122902 Jackup oilfield rig services (Commodity) encompasses water well drilling, installation, maintenance, and abandonment services that state and local governments purchase to support municipal water systems, utility infrastructure, and environmental remediation. Recent state and local opportunities reveal that the code captures a diverse portfolio including municipal water supply wells, orphaned oil and gas well plugging under federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding, wastewater pump station rehabilitation, and ancillary water infrastructure work such as irrigation system upgrades and well casing repair. The mix of issuing bodies reflects engagement by state environmental and natural resources agencies (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Natural Resources), municipal water utilities (City of Albany, City of Lubbock, City of Wrens, City of Pascagoula, Hillsborough County, San Bernardino County), park and recreation authorities (Boulder County Parks and Open Space, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Oregon Parks and Recreation), and county utilities departments (Seminole County, Gwinnett County, Sarasota County). Michigan and Mississippi dominate recent activity, with Michigan's prequalified vendor program for orphan well services generating multiple direct solicitations for plugging work on gas storage wells in Gratiot and Montcalm counties, while Mississippi's Oil and Gas Board has posted competitive bids for orphaned well remediation and reclamation. Activity also spans Florida (Sarasota County exploratory and monitoring well work, Escambia County landfill monitoring wells, Hillsborough County well maintenance), Georgia (Albany well rehabilitation, Reynolds deep well installation), Colorado (Boulder County agricultural stock wells), Texas (Lubbock water treatment plant design and program management, Texas Parks and Wildlife utility improvements), and multiple other states including Oregon, Illinois, and New York.

Representative recent opportunities include the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for plugging, remediation, and reclamation of nine orphaned oil and gas wells in Jasper and Jones counties (Solicitation 3160008162, bids due December 18, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid site inspection October 22, 2026); the City of Albany, Georgia's sealed bid for Well No. 21 rehabilitation (Solicitation PE64750NONST2027000000232, bids due November 16, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for Beaver Ruin Diversion Pump Station Grinders Replacements (Solicitation PE77023NONST2027000000778, bids due November 20, 2026, with non-mandatory pre-bid October 14); the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy's prequalification RFP for oil and gas well plugging services (Solicitation RFP7612600000025221, proposals due September 22, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern, with five awarded contractors totaling $800,000 over one year five months); and Hillsborough County's ITB for water well maintenance and repair services covering 67 wells across multiple parks (Solicitation ITB2600234, estimated at $688,073 over two years, bids due June 12, 2026). Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements apply to federally funded orphan well projects. Evaluation commonly emphasizes key personnel qualifications, business-owned equipment adequacy, technical experience, and responsiveness; prequalified vendor models restrict competition to established pools with prior award or demonstrated capability thresholds.
