Service includes installations, maintenance, repairs, testing and verification of electronic equipment and automated systems onboard the rig also maintenance and repair of the Dynamic Positioning System, BOP MUX system and the drilling systems.

UNSPSC 71122906 Rig positioning electronic equipment service, a Commodity code, sees active procurement primarily for orphan oil and gas well plugging, abandonment, and site restoration services. State and local governments use this code to solicit specialized drilling and well services that combine multiple equipment classes—rig configurations (pole, single derrick, and double derrick), wireline operations, cementing, mud engineering, and heavy equipment rental—typically bundled in large multi-well abandonment contracts that specify unit pricing across 60+ line items. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy dominates recent activity, issuing four direct-solicitation notices in mid-July 2026 for New Haven Energy LLC orphan wells in Gratiot and Montcalm counties; the state restricts bidding to vendors prequalified through five prior RFPs and requires attendance at mandatory pre-proposal meetings. The code also appears in well construction and rehabilitation work—municipal water supply wells, monitoring wells, and design-build projects—though less frequently than in the orphan-well domain. Geographic spread concentrates in Michigan (multiple multi-well contracts), with secondary activity in Mississippi (orphan well plugging through the Oil and Gas Board), Florida (wastewater pump stations and exploratory monitor well drilling), Texas (H2S well services, water treatment plant design), California (on-call maintenance contracts), and scattered single-jurisdiction work across Georgia, Illinois, and other states. Vendors pursuing this code should note that Michigan's current wave is prequalification-gated and highly competitive among a small pool of qualified contractors.

Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy solicitation for the Orphan Well New Haven Section 3 (3) Wells (DS7612600000000322), a direct solicitation with proposals due July 21, 2026, requiring unit pricing for 68 line items covering rig services, well casing and tubing rental, drilling equipment, cementing services, mud engineering, wireline services, waste disposal, and site restoration with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and technical evaluation weighted equally across key personnel, business-owned equipment, technical experience, and vendor responses (minimum 80 points required for award consideration). The Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's Invitation for Bids for plugging, remediation, and reclamation of seven orphaned oil and gas wells (IFB 3160007967, due May 11, 2026) exemplifies the broader pattern: comprehensive turnkey services funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, with Davis-Bacon and Build America Buy America compliance, three-reference minimum qualifications, and separate pricing for each well. Seminole County, Florida's wastewater pump station R&R solicitation (CC710026HSMA, due August 5, 2026) demonstrates non-orphan application: a master service agreement requiring fixed hourly labor rates for craft classifications, 20% markup on materials, 51% self-performance minimum, 24-hour emergency response, and 25-points-each scoring on key personnel, equipment, technical experience, and vendor responses.
