UNSPSC 71151403: Well drilling job design services

Services to plan projects for directional drilling and lwd services.

UNSPSC 71151403 Well drilling job design services, a Commodity code, covers surveying, design, and engineering services for extraction well location assessment and system infrastructure planning, as grounded in recent state and local solicitations for landfill gas and digester gas collection systems. The code encompasses subsurface survey work, well placement optimization, piping and collection system layout, and technical specifications development prior to construction. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include special-purpose districts (solid waste authorities, water reclamation agencies) and municipalities. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority in Georgia and the Eastern Municipal Water District in California have posted opportunities within the recent period that involve upstream design, surveying, and well-location engineering as components of larger landfill gas and digester gas projects, though the sourced opportunities show limited pure design-services activity tagged to this commodity code; most design work appears embedded in design-build or construction contracts rather than procured as standalone services.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and California. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority issued an ITB (PE75552NONST2026000000061) on April 17, 2026, with response due May 21, 2026, for landfill gas collection and control system construction and installation at its Old Dixie Highway Municipal Solid Waste Landfill in Dalton, Georgia, which includes surveying of gas extraction well locations and installation of extraction wells with associated lateral piping infrastructure. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California, posted an RFP (Solicitation 3900) on February 24, 2026, with proposal deadline April 13, 2026, for a long-term Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate-Maintain agreement to develop digester gas utilization at three regional water reclamation facilities, with design and engineering embedded in the design-build scope. The sourced opportunities do not show this code as a standalone procurement category for design-only services; firms pursuing work under this commodity should expect to compete within broader construction, design-build, or infrastructure development contracts where well design and surveying form one component of a larger systems scope.
