UNSPSC 71161111: Oilfield water management services

Evaluation, design or testing to monitor the volume, treatment and disposal of produced water associated with oil production.

UNSPSC 71161111 Oilfield water management services is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Of the four opportunities tagged under this code, only one—the Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority's landfill gas collection and control system expansion—bears any substantive connection to the code's nominal scope. That solicitation, an ITB posted April 17, 2026, with bids due May 21, 2026, involves construction and installation of gas extraction wells, perforated collectors, piping systems, condensate sumps, and related controls at a municipal landfill in Dalton, Georgia. The remaining three opportunities—an irrigation system upgrade at a city park in DeBary, Florida; a digester gas utilization design-build-finance-operate project by Eastern Municipal Water District in California; and an executive search services RFP by the City of College Park, Georgia—fall outside the code's water management scope and appear to be misfiled in the procurement system. State and local issuers using this code are primarily special-purpose waste and water districts rather than general-purpose municipalities or county governments, though the sample is too small to characterize a sustained issuing-body pattern.

Geographic activity under this code is concentrated in the Southeast, with the one genuinely relevant opportunity originating in Georgia. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority's mandatory pre-proposal conference on May 1, 2026, and bid opening on May 21, 2026, require Georgia-licensed general contractors with minimum five years of landfill gas system experience and successful completion of at least five similar projects. Contractors must perform at least 50 percent of labor on-site, and the contract carries substantial completion and final completion deadlines of 120 and 150 calendar days after notice to proceed, with escalating liquidated damages. The misalignment between the code's oilfield-focused name and the actual waste-sector work solicited suggests either tagging inconsistency in the procurement database or significant scope drift within the code's definition at the state and local level. Firms considering pursuit should verify that their experience and capability align with the actual goods and services being requested, rather than the code's nominal description.
