UNSPSC 71131014: Oil based fluid well fracturing services

An invert-emulsion mud, or an emulsion whose continuous phase is oil used in fracturing.

UNSPSC 71131014 Oil based fluid well fracturing services is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show no direct alignment with oil and gas hydraulic fracturing work. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority's ITB for landfill gas collection and control system expansion (due May 21, 2026) involves extraction well installation, perforated horizontal collectors, and gas conveyance infrastructure at a municipal landfill, not hydrocarbon reservoir stimulation. The Eastern Municipal Water District's RFP for a Digester Gas Utilization Project (due April 14, 2026) addresses design-build-finance-operate-maintain conversion of biodigester gas to renewable natural gas at three wastewater reclamation facilities in Riverside County, California—again, biogas handling rather than oil and gas fracturing services. The City of DeBary, Florida's irrigation system upgrade and the City of College Park, Georgia's city manager executive search services are unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities include special-purpose districts (solid waste authority, water reclamation district) and municipalities, but none of these are procuring hydraulic fracturing services for oil and gas wells. Geographic activity spans Georgia, California, and Florida in the recent posting cycle, but this represents activity misaligned with the code's intended commodity classification. Firms evaluating this code for state and local business development should treat it as inactive for oil-based fracturing services and flag the classification mismatch for portfolio attention.
