UNSPSC 71161202: Oilfield lease operations

Management of the area of surface land on which exploration or production activity occurs.

UNSPSC 71161202 Oilfield lease operations is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The one relevant opportunity present is the Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority's ITB for a landfill gas collection and control system expansion, which involves design, installation, and activation of gas extraction wells, piping, condensate handling, and monitoring equipment at a municipal solid waste landfill—infrastructure distinctly separate from oil and gas exploration or production lease operations. The other three recent opportunities—a city irrigation system upgrade, a municipal water district's digester gas utilization DBFOOM project, and a city manager executive search—bear no relation to either oilfield lease operations or landfill gas work. The code shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope.

The landfill gas opportunity in Georgia, posted April 17, 2026, with bids due May 21, 2026, is the only solicitation of material relevance. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority, a special-purpose waste district, issued an ITB requiring Georgia-licensed general contractors with a minimum of five years' experience in landfill gas collection and control system construction and at least five completed similar or larger projects within the past five years. The project scope encompasses approximately 14,590 linear feet of gas and liquid conveyance piping, 25 wellheads, condensate equipment, and 46,100 square yards of slope stabilization, with 120-calendar-day substantial completion and 150-calendar-day final completion deadlines from Notice to Proceed. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is set for May 1, 2026, at the Authority's administrative office in Dalton, Georgia. The contract includes liquidated damages of $2,000 per day escalating to $5,000 per day for delays beyond specified milestones. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are designated; compliance with Georgia's Security and Immigration Compliance Act and E-Verify is required.
