UNSPSC 71131401: Oilfield flare system services

Service to dispose of unwanted combustible vapors through a flare.

UNSPSC 71131401 Oilfield flare system services is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement activity describes enclosed landfill gas flare systems and related combustion infrastructure at solid waste facilities. The code sees use primarily by environmental agencies and special-purpose districts managing municipal landfills, though the recent activity block shows only one solicitation aligned with the nominal scope. Maryland Environmental Service posted a competitive sealed bid in June 2026 for construction of a new enclosed flare system and demolition of existing flares at the Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, with a 20% Minority Business Enterprise participation goal and a bid deadline of July 16, 2026. The scope required all materials, equipment, labor, and incidental services to construct the new enclosed flare system and demolish the existing F1 and F2 flares at the landfill site.

The recent opportunity block contains two additional state and local solicitations tagged to this code that show no relevance to oilfield or landfill flare systems: the City of DeBary, Florida's irrigation system improvements at Rob Sullivan Park (a Hunter brand irrigation controller retrofit) and the School Board of Polk County, Florida's armored car and secure courier services contract. These taggin errors indicate either misclassification in the source or inconsistent application of the code by issuing bodies. The single aligned opportunity in the block—the Maryland Environmental Service flare station upgrade—is the only decision-relevant signal under this code. Geographic activity is limited to Maryland based on available recent data. Firms pursuing landfill gas flare work should monitor Maryland Environmental Service and other state solid waste authorities for similar infrastructure upgrades, particularly where MBE or other set-aside designations apply.
