UNSPSC 71141202: Well site restoration services

Services for the restoration of abandoned well sites and associated facilities.

UNSPSC 71141202 Well site restoration services is a Commodity code that describes environmental site remediation, landfill gas system construction and control, and related subsurface infrastructure work—though recent state and local activity under this code spans a wider range than the nominal title suggests. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county environmental and health agencies, solid waste authorities, water reclamation districts, and municipal departments procuring site remediation consulting, licensed professional services, and infrastructure construction tied to environmental restoration. Bergen County, New Jersey has posted two separate solicitations for Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) qualifications—one in January 2026 and an expanded-pool iteration in June 2026—indicating repeat demand for qualified remediation practitioners willing to work on as-needed task orders. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority in Georgia issued a detailed invitation to bid for comprehensive landfill gas collection and control system expansion, a capital-intensive project requiring Georgia-licensed general contractors with five years' documented experience in gas extraction infrastructure. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California is pursuing a long-term Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate-Maintain agreement to convert digester gas into renewable natural gas at three regional water reclamation facilities, a specialized procurement spanning design, permitting, construction, and 15- to 20-year operations contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in New Jersey, Georgia, and California, with the bulk of visible opportunity in environmental remediation consulting (New Jersey) and capital landfill or digester gas infrastructure projects (Georgia and California). The Bergen County LSRP solicitations—closing February 25, 2026, and June 18, 2026, respectively—target firms holding active New Jersey licensure and relevant site remediation expertise willing to join a qualified-vendor roster for task-order work. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority's ITB for landfill gas system expansion closed May 21, 2026, and required bidders to attend a mandatory pre-proposal conference on May 1, 2026, with a substantial completion deadline of 120 calendar days after Notice to Proceed and liquidated damages starting at $2,000 per day. The EMWD Digester Gas Utilization Project RFP (due April 13, 2026, with proposals to be interviewed May–June 2026 and board approval targeted for October 2026) represents a significantly larger long-term commitment, with estimated bonding requirements of $20 million, $2 million, and $2 million and contract terms of 15 or 20 years. None of these solicitations carry explicit disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides, though New Jersey's Bergen County filings require compliance with the state's Fair and Open Process and affirmative action mandates.
