UNSPSC 71141201: Well cleaning or swabbing services

Services to remove liquids from the production tubing to initiate flow from the reservoir.

UNSPSC 71141201 Well cleaning or swabbing services is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag infrastructure maintenance and system optimization work, though recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The single substantive opportunity appearing in recent state-local procurement activity is the Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority's landfill gas collection and control system expansion in Georgia — an ITB issued in April 2026 with a May 21, 2026, response deadline — which involves surveying and installing gas extraction wells, perforated horizontal collectors, piping infrastructure, wellheads, condensate sumps, and erosion control measures. The three other recent postings tagged to this code (City of DeBary irrigation system improvements in Florida, Eastern Municipal Water District digester gas utilization project in California, and City of College Park city manager executive search services in Georgia) are unrelated to well cleaning or swabbing. The code shows limited recent state-local activity, and the opportunities posted do not reflect consistent procurement demand for well-cleaning services per se.

The geographic span of substantive activity under this code is narrow. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority procurement is the only recent opportunity directly addressing infrastructure work comparable to the code's nominal scope, and it is located in Georgia. Qualifying contractors must hold Georgia licensing and registration as General Contractors with a minimum of five years' experience in landfill gas collection and control system construction, having completed at least five similar or larger projects within the past five years, and must perform a minimum of 50 percent of labor on-site. The ITB calls for a single-contract award with substantial completion 120 calendar days after Notice to Proceed and final completion 150 calendar days after. Liquidated damages are $2,000 per day for the first 90 days following the Substantial Completion deadline and $5,000 per day thereafter. Bidders must comply with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and submit workers' compensation and information security affidavits. The Authority retains discretion to reject any or all bids. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged or minority-owned businesses are specified. The mismatch between the code name and the recent opportunities suggests this commodity code sees limited relevant state-local procurement demand currently.
