UNSPSC 71141104: Well plugging and abandonment tubular cutting services

Services used to cut tubing including using abrasive water jet, diamond wire cutting tools, charges and explosives, hydraulic shears, thermic lance boring

UNSPSC 71141104 Well plugging and abandonment tubular cutting services is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity has been applied to landfill gas system infrastructure projects, municipal utility expansion work, and water reclamation facility improvements — though the code's nominal scope does not align closely with the actual work being solicited. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve landfill gas collection system construction, irrigation infrastructure installation, and digester gas utilization project development; none involve well plugging, abandonment, or tubular cutting in the traditional oil and gas sense. Issuing bodies have included special-purpose waste management authorities, municipalities, and regional water districts. The scope mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or that procurement offices are using it as a fallback classification for infrastructure work outside traditional utility categories.

Recent activity includes an Invitation to Bid from the Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority in Georgia (solicitation PE75552NONST2026000000061) for landfill gas collection and control system expansion at Old Dixie Highway Municipal Solid Waste Landfill, due May 21, 2026, requiring Georgia-licensed general contractors with five years' landfill gas experience; an Eastern Municipal Water District Request for Proposal in Riverside County, California (solicitation 3900) for a Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate-Maintain digester gas utilization project across three Regional Water Reclamation Facilities, due April 13, 2026; and a City of DeBary, Florida irrigation system improvement project (solicitation 0315). Geographic activity spans Georgia, California, and Florida. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its traditional well-abandonment domain and warrants verification of classification accuracy before pursuit.
