UNSPSC 71131011: Well fracturing service evaluation services

Services to evaluate the fracture procedures to be used.

UNSPSC 71131011 Well fracturing service evaluation services is a Commodity code that encompasses technical assessment and analysis services for subsurface injection and extraction systems, though the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority's April 2026 landfill gas collection and control system expansion (ITB PE75552NONST2026000000061, due May 21, 2026) involves construction and installation of gas extraction wells, piping, and control infrastructure rather than fracturing evaluation. The Eastern Municipal Water District's February 2026 Digester Gas Utilization Project (RFP 3900, due April 14, 2026) is a long-term Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate-Maintain agreement for converting anaerobic digester gas to renewable natural gas across three California water reclamation facilities—also outside fracturing service territory. The remaining recent opportunities—the City of DeBary's irrigation system improvements and the City of College Park's city manager executive search—fall entirely outside the code's scope. Issuing bodies posting under this code include special-purpose districts (solid waste authorities, water reclamation districts) and municipalities, though the code shows little recent activity aligned to well fracturing evaluation work.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and California based on the two largest opportunities, with no clear pattern of repeat activity or sustained procurement volume under this code. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority's work requires Georgia-licensed general contractors with five years' landfill gas construction experience and will award a single contract with substantial completion in 120 calendar days and liquidated damages starting at $2,000 per day. The Eastern Municipal Water District project, larger in scope, mandates five years of DBFOOM digester gas experience, audited financials, and bonding in the range of $20 million to $2 million, with site tours scheduled for March 18–19, 2026, and proposal interviews anticipated for May–June 2026. The code appears to capture tangential energy recovery and utility infrastructure work rather than dedicated well fracturing evaluation services; firms evaluating this code should assess whether the actual buying activity—landfill and digester gas systems—matches their service lines.
