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) appears in state and local procurement records primarily for well drilling, plugging, and abandonment work rather than for the offshore or marine accommodation rigs the code's name suggests. State and local buyers—principally state environmental and natural resource departments, county utilities, cities, and water districts—solicit this code to hire contractors for water well installation, rehabilitation, and closure; orphan oil and gas well plugging funded under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act; pump station repair and wastewater infrastructure work; and ancillary drilling services. The recent opportunities reveal a consistent flow of solicitations from Michigan (Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy), Mississippi (Oil and Gas Board), Illinois (Department of Corrections, Department of Natural Resources), Florida (counties and cities), Georgia (municipalities), Texas (Parks and Wildlife, cities), and Colorado (county parks departments), with Michigan and Mississippi showing the heaviest current activity in federally funded orphan well programs. Representative recent work includes the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's direct solicitations for orphan well plugging in Kent County and Gratiot County (DS 7612600000000421, DS 7612600000000351, and related solicitations, proposals due July 21, 2026), the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for plugging nine orphaned wells in Jasper and Jones Counties (RFx No. 3160008162, bids due December 18, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' small-business-set-aside IFB for a supplemental irrigation well installation at Union County State Fish and Wildlife Area (IFB 26-422DNR-LNDMG-B-52982, bids due July 9, 2026).

The code spans a wide range of issuing bodies and geographic spread. State departments—particularly those managing environmental remediation, natural resources, and energy—dominate, but county utilities, municipal water departments, park and recreation districts, and special-purpose districts also solicit regularly. Michigan and Mississippi are the primary markets right now, both backed by federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding for orphan well closure; activity also appears in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, and Oregon. Recent opportunities show three principal procurement patterns: closed-competition prequalification contracts where only previously vetted vendors may bid (Michigan's orphan well programs); open competitive IFBs for individual well projects (Mississippi, Illinois, Georgia, Mississippi); and smaller on-call or maintenance contracts with water utilities (Hillsborough County Florida's well maintenance ITB, estimated at $688,073 over two years; San Bernardino County's on-call well and pump services RFQ, maximum $2.8 million over five years). Bidders regularly encounter prevailing wage requirements tied to federal funding, mandatory pre-bid meetings, site-specific equipment and materials specifications, and bonding requirements. The market remains active as federal orphan well remediation funding flows and utilities manage aging water infrastructure.
