UNSPSC 71161300: Oilfield project management services

Project management services that may include: engineering services, document control, environmental management, evacuation management, government liaison, contracting, preservation management, reuse / resale services.

UNSPSC 71161300 Oilfield project management services, a Class code, does not map meaningfully to the state and local contract opportunities recently tagged under it. The source shows minimal recent activity that aligns with the code's nominal scope, and the procurement records posted are dominated by landfill gas collection infrastructure, irrigation system installation, digester gas utilization facility design-build-finance-operate contracting, and municipal executive search services — none of which constitute oilfield project management. The single infrastructure procurement most proximate to energy-sector work is the Eastern Municipal Water District's Digester Gas Utilization Project, which involves design-build-finance-own-operate-maintain (DBFOOM) agreements for wastewater treatment facility gas conversion, a water and wastewater utility function rather than oilfield operations.

The mismatch between code classification and actual procurement content suggests either a tagging error in the source or a misalignment between UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local purchasing offices apply codes to public-works solicitations. The Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority's landfill gas collection system (ITB 71161300, due May 21, 2026) and the City of DeBary's park irrigation upgrade (ITB 0315, due April 10, 2015) are unrelated to oilfield project management; the EMWD digester gas project (RFP 3900, due April 13, 2026) involves public wastewater utility contracting, not energy extraction. The City of College Park executive search RFP (RFP 26-37, due February 18, 2026) has no connection to the code's field at all. Firms assessing this code for state and local opportunity evaluation should treat it as dormant or misclassified in the recent-posting data and rely on direct issuing-body outreach or alternative code hierarchies to identify actual oilfield or energy-sector project work in state and local procurement markets.
