UNSPSC 71141103: Well abandonment platform removal services

Services to remove a platform for abandonment purposes

UNSPSC 71141103 Well abandonment platform removal services is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity primarily for landfill gas collection and control system construction projects. The source records show that state and local governments are using this code to solicit infrastructure work involving surveying and installation of landfill gas extraction wells, perforated horizontal collectors, lateral and conveyance piping, wellheads, condensate sumps, and associated monitoring and control equipment—substantially different from the code's nominal scope of well abandonment and platform removal. The work is being solicited by special-purpose districts (solid waste authorities and water reclamation districts) and municipalities. Qualifying contractors must hold relevant state licensing (Georgia General Contractor licensure in the landfill gas project documented here) and demonstrate minimum five years' experience in landfill gas collection system construction with at least five successfully completed similar or larger projects within the past five years. Contractors must perform a minimum of 50 percent of labor on-site. Compliance with state immigration and security laws is required, along with comprehensive insurance coverage.

Recent activity shows a concentration in the Southeast and Southwest. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority in Dalton, Georgia posted an Invitation to Bid (ITB) on April 17, 2026, for landfill gas collection and control system expansion at its Old Dixie Highway Municipal Solid Waste Landfill, with bid submission due by 3:00 p.m. EST on May 21, 2026, and a mandatory pre-proposal conference on May 1, 2026. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California posted a Request for Proposal on February 24, 2026, for a long-term Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate-Maintain agreement to develop and operate a Digester Gas Utilization Project at three Regional Water Reclamation Facilities, with proposal deadline April 13, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The Georgia ITB includes liquidated damages escalating from $2,000 per day to $5,000 per day depending on the phase and extent of delay, with substantial completion required within 120 calendar days and final completion within 150 calendar days after Notice to Proceed. The code shows active procurement in specialized energy-recovery and environmental infrastructure, though the recent opportunities tagged under this code diverge substantially from its nominal well abandonment focus.
