UNSPSC 71122905: Platform oilfield rig services

Services for the platforms (large structures used to house workers and machinery needed to drill and then produce oil).

UNSPSC 71122905 Platform oilfield rig services (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code in recent months. The listed opportunities span irrigation system installation, well drilling and plugging, well rehabilitation, pump station repairs, wastewater treatment infrastructure, and water supply projects — none of which constitute platform oilfield rig services as defined by the taxonomy. The code shows no relevant recent state and local solicitation activity.

The posted opportunities cluster around water infrastructure, environmental remediation, and utility maintenance across multiple issuing bodies including state environmental and natural resources departments (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Mississippi Oil and Gas Board; Illinois Department of Corrections and Natural Resources), municipalities (cities of Albany, Ocala, Bend, Reynolds, Wrens, Lubbock, and Pascagoula), counties (Hillsborough, Seminole, Gwinnett, Sarasota, and others), water districts, and state parks agencies. Michigan and Mississippi dominate recent activity with orphan well plugging contracts under Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding; Florida municipal and county jurisdictions show repeated activity in well maintenance, repair, and abandonment; and Texas, Georgia, and Colorado agencies post periodic drilling and well construction work. Representative recent opportunities include the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for plugging nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (bid due December 18, 2026), Michigan EGLE's prequalification RFP for oil and gas well services with five vendors awarded totaling $800,000 (posted October 12, 2026), and Hillsborough County's ITB for water well maintenance and repair services covering 67 wells across multiple parks (two-year contract estimated at $688,073, due June 12, 2026). This code merits a skip unless your firm pursues oilfield platform rig leasing or operation — the taxonomy is misapplied to these solicitations.
