UNSPSC 71161407: Well pulling unit services

Services to use a slickline or coiled tubing tool used to retrieve temporary devices, such as plugs and flow-control equipment, from the wellbore.

UNSPSC 71161407 Well pulling unit services (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The two recent opportunities tagged under this code involve irrigation system installation at a municipal park and armored car courier services for a school district — neither represents well pulling unit services as traditionally understood in the oil and gas or water-well drilling sectors. The irrigation project involved converting an existing park irrigation infrastructure to a Hunter controller system, while the armored car solicitation addressed secure transportation of financial materials. Neither opportunity involves well pulling equipment, services, or related drilling operations.

The source provides no evidence of state and local procurement activity for genuine well pulling unit services. The code appears misapplied to these opportunities, suggesting either data classification error or a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and how issuing bodies are tagging their purchases. Business development professionals should verify whether this code remains active in recent state and local procurement channels before investing pursuit resources.
