UNSPSC 71161101: Oilfield artificial lift services

Evaluation and design of system to add energy to the fluid column in a wellbore with the objective of initiating and improving production from the well.

UNSPSC 71161101 Oilfield artificial lift services is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities tagged under this code—Rob Sullivan Park irrigation system improvements (City of DeBary, Florida, IFB, April 2015) and armored car and secure courier services (School Board of Polk County, Florida, ITB, June 2026)—are unrelated to oilfield artificial lift operations. The irrigation project involves Hunter controller and flow-meter installation in a municipal park; the armored car contract covers secure cash and document transportation for school district finance operations. Neither involves pump systems, wellhead equipment, or extraction infrastructure typical of the code's intended scope.

The mismatch between the code's definition and the recent opportunities suggests either mis-tagging in the source data or minimal genuine oilfield-services procurement activity at the state and local level. Business development professionals should verify the code's applicability to their service offerings before allocating pursuit resources. If your firm serves municipal or school-district procurement, examine the specific opportunity notices directly rather than relying on this code as a discovery mechanism.
