UNSPSC 71161100: Oilfield production engineering management

Engineering services provided during the production phase of a well.

UNSPSC 71161100 Oilfield production engineering management is a Class code that state and local governments use to tag work involving extraction systems, gas collection infrastructure, and energy recovery from waste streams—though the recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with traditional oilfield production work. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority in Georgia issued an ITB in April 2026 for landfill gas collection and control system construction, including extraction wells, perforated collectors, piping, condensate sumps, and monitoring equipment at its Old Dixie Highway Municipal Solid Waste Landfill, with a mandatory pre-proposal conference on May 1, 2026, and a bid deadline of May 21, 2026. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California released an RFP in February 2026 for a long-term Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate-Maintain agreement to convert digester gas from three Regional Water Reclamation Facilities into renewable natural gas or other marketable energy products, with critical dates including a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on March 9, 2026, mandatory site tours on March 18–19, 2026, and a proposal deadline of April 13, 2026. These two opportunities represent the most relevant recent activity; a third posting (City of College Park executive search services) and a fourth (City of DeBary irrigation improvements) appear unrelated to the code's nominal scope and suggest occasional tagging mismatches.

Recent activity under this code concentrates in the solid waste and water utility sectors across the Southeast and West, with Georgia and California showing the most current demand. Issuing bodies include special-purpose waste and water districts rather than state departments or municipalities. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority requires Georgia-licensed general contractors with a minimum of five years' experience in landfill gas collection systems and completion of at least five similar projects within the past five years, with on-site labor of at least 50 percent; the contract carries liquidated damages of $2,000–$5,000 per day depending on project phase. The Eastern Municipal Water District seeks proposers with minimum five years of direct experience in digester gas DBFOOM projects, audited financial statements for three years, and estimated bonding of $20 million (bid), $2 million (payment), and $2 million (performance), with contract terms of 15 or 20 years plus optional extensions and revenue sharing on energy sales. Neither solicitation specifies set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises.
