UNSPSC 71151500: Hydrocarbon allocation management and consultancy services

Management and consultancy services for hydrocarbon allocation, which is the process of measuring and determining the ownership of units of hydrocarbons, from the point of extraction all the way through to the processing refinery. This relates to the value of payments allocated to each operator whose wells have contributed to the hydrocarbons being processed at the refinery.

UNSPSC 71151500 Hydrocarbon allocation management and consultancy services is a Class code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged with this code show no coherent pattern of hydrocarbon allocation or management work. Instead, solicitations range from irrigation system improvements, law enforcement virtual reality training systems, orphan well plugging and remediation across multiple states, municipal water well construction and rehabilitation, wastewater pump station repairs, and well abandonment—activities that span water infrastructure, environmental remediation, and utilities management rather than hydrocarbon commodity trading or energy resource allocation services.

The issuing bodies include state environmental and energy departments (Michigan EGLE, Mississippi Oil and Gas Board), county governments (Sarasota County, Gwinnett County, Hillsborough County, Seminole County), cities (DeBary, Albany, Ocala, Salt Lake City, Lubbock, Austin, Reynolds, Pascagoula), state parks and recreation departments (Oregon Parks and Recreation, Texas Parks and Wildlife), water districts (Hilldale Water District), and specialized authorities (Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Natural Resources). Geographic activity spans Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Colorado, and New York. Representative recent opportunities include the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's prequalification RFP for oil and gas well plugging services (proposals due September 22, 2026), the Mississippi Oil and Gas Board's IFB for orphan well plugging in Jasper and Jones Counties (bids due December 18, 2026), the City of DeBary's competitive bid for irrigation system improvements at Rob Sullivan Park (bid submission deadline April 10, 2015—a dated entry), and Salt Lake City's RFP for a Virtual Reality law enforcement training system (proposals due November 11, 2026, $322,770 total funding). The code shows no relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the UNSPSC category name and actual solicited work suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a code that no longer reflects current state and local procurement patterns.
