UNSPSC 71161105: Well perforation services

Evaluation, design or testing of the process to create holes in the casing or liner to achieve efficient communication between the reservoir and the wellbore.

UNSPSC 71161105 Well perforation services (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. The single solicitation substantively related to the code's nominal scope is the Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority's landfill gas collection and control system expansion, which includes installation of landfill gas extraction wells with perforated horizontal collectors and related piping infrastructure. The remaining three opportunities—an irrigation system upgrade in DeBary, Florida; a digester gas utilization project in Riverside County, California; and an executive search services procurement in College Park, Georgia—fall outside the scope of well perforation work and suggest potential misclassification in state and local procurement systems. When the code does appear in relevant opportunities, it typically involves extraction well installation and completion within landfill gas or similar industrial applications requiring Georgia-licensed general contractors with minimum five years' experience in similar projects and capable of performing at least 50 percent of labor on-site.

The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) on April 17, 2026, for Project DWSWA-2026-01 with a response deadline of May 21, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. EST, with a mandatory pre-proposal conference scheduled for May 1, 2026. The scope encompasses surveying of extraction well locations, installation of HDPE-cased wells, approximately 4,100 linear feet of 6-inch perforated horizontal collectors, related lateral piping in multiple diameters, condensate sumps, and appurtenances, with a 120-day Substantial Completion deadline and 150-day final completion deadline from Notice to Proceed, liquidated damages escalating to $5,000 per day after initial periods, and a five percent bid bond requirement. The code shows limited recent activity concentrated in Georgia; the broader dataset suggests well perforation services are infrequently solicited through state and local procurement channels compared to federal or private oil and gas contracting, making activity under this Commodity code sparse and episodic.
