UNSPSC 71161308: Well site logistics or procurement services

Oversee the purchasing, scheduling, expediting and delivery of people, products and services to a well site.

UNSPSC 71161308 Well site logistics or procurement services (Commodity) encompasses the planning, coordination, and acquisition of materials and services required for extraction and infrastructure development at well and digester gas sites, but recent state and local procurement activity shows marked divergence from the code's nominal scope. The single representative opportunity clearly aligned with the code—the Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority's landfill gas collection and control system expansion—involves site surveying, installation of gas extraction wells with piping and appurtenances, condensate handling, and erosion control, all procured as a construction ITB with a mandatory pre-proposal conference and a May 21, 2026 bid deadline. The remaining recent opportunities tagged to this code (an irrigation system upgrade, a digester gas utilization design-build-finance-operate contract, and a municipal executive search) do not map to well site logistics or procurement services and appear to reflect classification errors in the posting system. Issuing bodies for the gas extraction work include special-purpose waste authorities and water reclamation districts, each with distinct regulatory and operational requirements.

The landfill gas extraction work documented here is concentrated in Georgia (Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority), with the broader sample including activity in Florida, California, and Georgia. The Dalton-Whitfield ITB, posted April 17, 2026, requires Georgia-licensed general contractors with minimum five years' experience in landfill gas construction and five completed comparable projects within the past five years; contractors must perform at least 50 percent of labor on-site, post a bid bond of five percent of the bid price, and meet substantial and final completion deadlines of 120 and 150 calendar days respectively from Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages escalating from $2,000 to $5,000 per day. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for May 1, 2026, at the Authority's office in Dalton; bids open May 21, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. EST. Because recent state and local posting activity under this code is predominantly misclassified opportunities unrelated to well site logistics, the code shows limited documented purchasing volume in its proper scope.
