UNSPSC 71122907: Accommodation rig service

Provision of a platform, semisubmersible, or floating vessel specially built or adapted to act as living accommodation for offshore personnel in the oil & Gas industry, and may also include the ability to hold operational equipment and carry out operational activity.

UNSPSC 71122907 Accommodation rig service (Commodity) encompasses drilling rig services, equipment rental, and labor for well abandonment, plugging, and site restoration work at oil and gas properties. State and local governments—primarily state environmental and energy departments—use this code to procure turnkey orphan well remediation, which includes rig mobilization, drilling operations, casing and tubing installation, cementing services, wireline work, waste disposal, and post-work site reclamation. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy and the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board dominate recent activity, each issuing multiple direct solicitations and invitations for bids for plugging and abandonment of orphaned gas storage wells and oil wells across their respective states. These procurements are tightly gatekept: Michigan restricts bidders to vendors prequalified through named prior RFPs, while Mississippi requires five years of documented orphan well experience, valid business licenses, and specified insurance minimums. Work is awarded on best value, not price alone, with evaluation heavily weighted to key personnel (25%), business-owned equipment (25%), technical experience (25%), and vendor questions responses (25%), and bidders must meet an 80-point technical floor to qualify.

Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy posted four direct solicitations in mid-July 2026 for 38 total gas storage wells across Gratiot and Montcalm counties (New Haven Energy Section 3, Section 4, Section 5-10, and Plank locations), all due July 21, 2026 via IFB format with mandatory pre-bid meetings on July 9. These solicitations require unit pricing for 68 line items covering rig configurations (pole, single derrick, double derrick), labor classifications under Davis-Bacon prevailing wage ($39.57–$41.32 per hour plus $25.25–$40.00 fringe), equipment rental, cementing, wireline, and site restoration, with firm pricing locked for project duration. Mississippi Oil and Gas Board issued three IFBs in March–May 2026 for 17 orphaned oil and gas wells across five counties, with bids due between late April and early May; these follow similar structure—best value award, five-year experience floor, 100-percent performance and payment bonds, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Formula grant funding subject to ten days' termination notice if funds lapse. Recent activity is concentrated in Michigan and Mississippi, with scattered single-well or small multi-well projects posted from Illinois (Union County State Fish and Wildlife Area well installation), Texas (well plugging and H2S well services), and Florida (exploratory and production wells). The code shows strong recent momentum driven by state-level orphan well remediation programs, many federally funded, with tight timelines (48-hour to two-week bid windows), prequalification gatekeeping, and Davis-Bacon wage mandates creating a specialized, recurring market for contractors with rig ownership, multi-craft labor rosters, and documented experience on similar projects.
